I Interviewed Rod Blagojevich. Yes, It Was Weird.

I am not a political reporter. Writing entertainment stories on why we love Cee-Lo Green's "Fuck You" song ("Forget You" to radio listeners) and helping TV viewers pick studs over duds this fall TV season are my love. My specialty. My thang, you might say. I went to Chicago Comic Con to cover nerds gone wild over pop culture (myself included) and came out with the only 30-minute interview with disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Why was he there? I asked him that. He also told me his dream: to make a reality show out of the next leg of his corruption trial. You could almost see the gears in his head interlocking. For brevity's sake, this Wall Street Journal article is of course missing the other 4,000 words of the transcript.

"I did everything I could to watch Batman. And then I had a chance to meet him [actor Adam West] today, which was kind of interesting. I would say that there was a little moment there in the mid-to-late ‘60s when I was 9, 10, 11, when he was almost as significant to me as Abraham Lincoln."
