In any normal world Sneed would be making this up:
Yipes! Is embattled former governor Rod Blagojevich eyeing his own reality TV show?
• • To wit: “I’m told a reality show is being discussed by his inner circle,” said a source familiar with Blago’s inner circle.
Ya gotta be kidding.
• • Hmmm. Would the show be patterned after “The Osbournes,” where rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his family were trailed by cameras?
• • Hmmm: Or could it be a spin on the hit TV show “Survivor,” detailing Blago’s struggles to climb out of the fed net?
• • The flip side: “We are focusing on all kinds of things,” said Blago’s publicist Glenn Selig, who flew into town to accompany Blago to his WLS radio gig Wednesday morning. “But there is nothing beyond talk. Not even a reality show.”
• • The book side: “He [Blago] is focusing on his book, despite the fact he joked he’s only on Page 3.”
MSNBC already has an appropriate reality show called Lock Up.
Unfortunately federal courtrooms still don’t allow cameras so much of his life for the next year or so would be off limits.
