The latest embarrassment for me has been the number of emails and phone calls from people who think I resemble the embattled and ethically-challenged Illinois Governor.

 

The phone calls and emails were enough to make me think: do I really resemble Governor Blagojevich?

 

My writing partner Eric Snyder calls to tell me if I had that bad haircut, I’d look just like him.  Long-time TV Producer George Ciccarone says Blago is my twin.  Even my wife tells me that friends think I resemble him.

 

 

Come on, folks.  Take a look at this photo here.  Does that look like Blago?  Yes, that photo … with make-up and great lighting … err .. that’s been airbrushed.

 

 

So, here’s my dilemma.  I’m either mistaken for a drunken, fat slob of a golfer or a graft-grabbing politico.

 

My solution.  I’m going to dye my hair blonde, spike it into a Mohawk, and change my name to Hussein Palin.

 

Suggestions?
