Exclusive: Blagojevich is a Cowboys Fan
Urbanagora has learned from a credible source that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is a closet Dallas Cowboys fan. Even though he occasionally bets on the Bears, Blagojevich has been known to require interns, even those from Chicago, to clip news clippings about the Dallas Cowboys.
Our source reveals:
When I interned for Blagojevich, in addition to clipping quotes about Chicago and Illinois politics, I was told to pull everything I could find about the Dallas Cowboys. On days I only found stories on current Chicago and Illinois events, I was told to look for Cowboys stories, but I was never asked for news about the Chicago Bears.
How can the people of Illinois, and particularly the citizens of Chicago, home of Da Bears, possibly support a Governor who loves the Dallas Cowboys? The Cowboys are the team you root for when you don’t have any pride or loyalty to your home city, so instead you opt for supporting “America’s Team.”
Curiously, here is a Cowboys fan forum talking about Blago’s ties with Rezko.
This may be the most compelling reason yet for a recall.

He isn’t even loyal to Chicago. He probably wanted to be one of the Cowboys cheerleaders growing up.

If a man is so in love with a city that he has to fly back to it EVERY DAY from where he works at the expense of HIS EMPLOYER, despite the fact that he has A PERFECTLY GOOD HOME WHERE HE WORKS PROVIDED FOR HIM GRATIS, he better love all of that city’s professional teams.
To describe him as a menace would slander other menaces like a bird crapping on your car or poorly written romantic comedies. This man is an incompetent buffoon who blunders through life at the great expense of those who dare to employ him. He is an incombuffoon.
