Check out this picture from 1980 of a young Rod Blagojevich posing with Richard Nixon, who is giving Blagojevich his autograph. And a bit of history from the TOC Blog:
If Blagojevich did set about modeling himself after Nixon, he’s most of the way there. Like his jowly political hero, Blago’s not going down without a fight. Tricky Dick didn’t resign until after the House Judiciary Committee had approved the articles of impeachment and Nixon was certain he would lose the House vote and the subsequent Senate trial.
