Judge Tells Rod Blagojevich No On Costa Rica
 Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009  by Connie T.

First the victory for Arctic wildlife, now this...you People are changing the world all over the place! Last we posted an article (Why Do We Give TV Shows to Criminals?) and mentioned that it was up to Judge James B. Zagel whether or not freshly impeached Former Governor Rod Blagojevich could bend the rules and fly to Costa Rica to make $80k / week on a celebrity reality show in the midst of his corruption trial. (We included the Honorable Judge's contact info, of course.)

And it looks like Blagojevich will have to get a job outside of tropical paradise. Judge Zagel ruled that Blagojevich's travel restrictions will not be lifted during his corruption and misconduct trial.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here will have to go on without him: NBC said they are "disappointed" but have "no plans to move the show to a location in the United States."

After the ruling, Rod said, "Obviously I'm very interested in finding a way to earn a living so I can support my children and our family, and this is just another day in the big city, and you just keep getting up and moving forward."

Our favorite quote from Blagojevich outside the courthouse, though, was this: "I know a lot of things about me, and about how I operate, and I have all kinds of insights that I can provide." We think the psychologists who pegged him as a narcissist were completely off.

But seriously, we are always one to treat our fellow man as we would like to be treated, and we certainly don't want to see him without a job and the means to support his family. So I have compiled some great references for Rod that have helped the American people, who can certainly sympathize with the job hunt.
