Rod Blagojevich: Hero

Everyone’s always picking on Rod, but is he really just a misunderstood life saver? Take this story from the reflections of campus newspaper photographer and graduating senior at Southern Illinois University, Anthony Souffle:

…and I dare say that my life was saved by our own Governor Rod Blagojevich when he stopped me from accidentally taking a backward step off the roof of the Marion Civic Center.

See. And you never hear Blago bragging about this. He’s the strong silent type. OK, you could argue that Souffle might not have been on the roof of the Marion Civic Center in the first place had he not been there to cover Blagojevich’s visit to the roof of the Marion Civic Center, but that’s getting a little nit-picky.
