Blagojevich considered offering Obama's Senate seat to Oprah!

The Blagovernor sits down with Dianne Sawyer on GMA

The Illinois Blagojemess is the story that keeps on giving...and giving...an giving...

As his impeachment trial begins in the Illinois State Senate, Blago is boycotting the proceedings and taking his case to everyone with a TV set. Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America," Hot Rod revealed that he had thought about offering President Obama's old Senate seat to Oprah Winfrey. Since he decided against giving Oprah a ring, as far as anyone besides Blago knows, he's just making stuff up. On another network show, he compared himself to Nelson Mandela. The guy may be a crook (alleged! alleged!), but he sure knows the kind of stuff TV networks like to hear when they book guests for their high-profile interview shows.

Blago is all over the little screen -- on "The View," "Larry King," "Nightline," you name it -- telling his side of the story to every possible member of a federal jury.
