Rod Blagojevich: The Hair, The Scandal, The Comeback

Rod Blagojevich: The Hair, The Scandal, The Comeback Rod Blagojevich is one of those politicians who managed to turn a scandal into... well, a bigger scandal. If you don’t know who he is, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane (don’t worry, no bribery involved). Who Is Rod Blagojevich? Rod Blagojevich—often called "Blago" because, let’s be honest, his last name is a workout for the tongue—was the Governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009. He had big dreams, big speeches, and even bigger hair. Seriously, his hair was so perfect it could survive a tornado. Blagojevich was a rising star in the Democratic Party, but unfortunately, his career took a sharp turn—kind of like a bad soap opera, except this was real life.
