Rod Blagojevich was just another dirty politician who got caught. But luckily for those of us in the news media, he was so much more than that - like OJ Simpson, Natalee Holloway, and Terri Schiavo before him, he was someone we could descend upon like a pack of wild jackals. I don't know if it was the cowboy metaphors, the devil-may-care grin, or the voluptuous, silky hair, but something made him stick in our collective conscious for a month or so. This is Karl's tribute to a newsmaker who came and went far too quickly. He'll never forget you, Rod - even if the rest of the world does!
