PARODY, CHICAGO – Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) announced this morning that he is abandoning his plan for a business he'd intended to call “Gone Today, Hair Tomorrow.”
Gone Today, Hair Tomorrow, in December 2008, drew sharp criticism from federal investigators, who, at that time, said that the business was simply a distraction from charges filed against Blagojevich, which included conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.
Blagojevich told reporters that his hair was more of a distraction than his 2008 arrest, and while he'd hoped to rake in $250,000-$300,000 a year with his new business (coincidentally the same amount he would have supposedly raised through the alleged sale of then President-Elect Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat), he's decided to instead tour the U.S. giving speeches on ethics. His first speech, according to the Daily Northwestern, will take place at Northwestern University during an event titled, "Ethics in Politics: An Evening with Former Governor Rod Blagojevich."
Rumors are now circulating that Scott Lee Cohen, the former nominee for Illinois Democratic Lieutenant Governor, will join Blagojevich in this new "ethics speech" circuit, though that could not be confirmed.
