Blagojevich Editorial Cartoons

by Cal Skinner

Maybe now that Judge James Zagel has ruled that former Governor Rod Blagojevich may not go to Costa Rica to participate in an NBC-TV reality show, maybe the desert island ridicule of him will shift to other aspects of the farce we are watching.

But, before the ruling Chicago Sun-Times editorial cartoonist Jack Higgins came up with a “What might have been.”

He has Zagel giving Blagojevich a choice of sitting in a room with U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald “with only the aid of a court-appointed attorney” or “spending a week on a desert island with two hungry cannibals.”

“Heh-heh. That's an easy one!” the coiffured one replies.

The bottom part of the three-paneled cartoon shows the sun setting over the ocean with a one palm three island being circled by sharks.

Two men are fighting over a long bone.

“HEY –
LEGGO
MY
BLAGO!”

one says to the other.

Have you seen these other cartoon depictions:
