Blagojevich Polka

What better tribute to a crooked Chicago politico than a rousing polka?

Blagojevich Polka
(music and lyric by Bill Dyszel)
A crooked politician from Chicago called Blagojevich,
Became the latest crooked Governor of Illinois-evitch!
Obama went to Washington and Blago jumped for joy-evich,
Cause that let Blago cook up one more crooked little ploy-evich.
Blagojevich! Illinois-evitch! Oh joy-evich! A ploy-evich!

He knew that he had come upon a very lucky day-evich!
So he went out to find someone with money who would pay-evich.
So what if it was sleazy? He said "[BLEEP] what people say-evich!
I'm gonna make big bucks on this, or I won't go away-evich!"
Blagojevich! Illinois-evich! Pay or play-evich! Go away-evich!

The moral of the story is don't be a dumb Blagojevich!
Be subtle when you're shopping for a little quid pro quo-jevich.
And if you shoot your mouth off in a way that will annoy-evich,
The legislature quickly will declare you unemploy-evich!
Blagojevich! Illinois-evich! Annoy-evich! Unemploy-evich!

Guilty on all counts except for the ones for attempted extortion in the incidents known as the "School Shakedown" and "Tollway Shakedown". Best part of the verdict? 10X WIRE FRAUD COMBO

@BryantArkansasRiver I guess it wasn't such a great plan to have him testify in his own defense.

BRILLIANT and HILAR-EVICH ! Mr. Dyszel you ARE the man !!! HAHAHAHAHA!

[cinemasolo]

Why, Thank You-evich! Please tell your friends!

I could so see you in lederhosen...

[cinemasolo]

Thanks (I think). And yes, this was my lame attempt to simulate lederhosen.

[TeeeZeee]

Funny stuff -- very clever!!

I was laughing through the entire piece.

[eventide925]

It was a compliment. *Sighs and hangs head* I'm so not right...

[cinemasolo]

Thank you! And thanks for subscribing! I hadn't heard about the Blago tribute, but it's funny! It seems like Blago will be giving us laughs for a while, even out of office.

As another Illinois native...well said!! Did you see the town of Bishop Hill had a tribute dinner to Blago? It's one of the historical sites that he pulled funding from...they had a tribute dinner for him. lol
