Hulu would not have spent days filming Blago at his house and on a park bench in front of the Lincoln Park Conservatory if they didn’t think the public would watch.
The more interesting question is, why can’t we quit Rod? Rod can’t quit trying to win back the public’s love. He took it right out of Hitler’s playbook: tell the Big Lie.” “It was twisted and taken out of context by this corrupt prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, like he read Mein Kampf. “It was in the context of responding to President Obama’s overture to make a political deal,” he insists. He had just come home from an eight-mile run, and was stretching while he talked to a labor leader about a list of four potential Senate candidates he says the Obama camp had relayed to him: Tammy Duckworth, Dan Hynes, Jesse Jackson Jr., and Jan Schakowsky. Barack Obama, “I’ve got this thing, and it’s f-in’ golden, and I’m just not giving it up for f-in’ nothing.”īlagojevich, who spent nearly eight years in prison for allegedly trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat, spends most of his camera time in Being Blago attempting to vindicate his actions as “political horse trading.” In one scene, he points to the exact spot on the floor of his Ravenswood Manor home where he uttered the famous words. Then he recites the two words for which he is best known: “f-in’ golden.” As he said the day after the 2008 presidential election about his power to appoint a successor to Sen. As he says in Being Blago, Hulu’s new four-part miniseries on his life as a returning citizen, “I need a second act.” Blagojevich, a history buff, recites famous presidential quotes (“Ask not what your country can do for you,” etc.). I understand why Rod Blagojevich can’t quit the spotlight.
