I don't think I'd want to touch him.

I confess I kept an eye on it to make sure it didn't wake up and maul me.

He's a diminutive little thing. 5'7" at best.

Maybe we can just make up some kind of weird sex rumor involving Blago. I'm sure people would eagerly believe any excuse to dump that imbecile.
The Daily Show is currently trotting out weird sex rumors for the governors of all 50 states. Blagojevich has not yet been named.
