The Joke's on Blagojevich

In case yo haven't heard. Here is the story on how Comedy Central's John Stewart made a fool of Governor Rod Blagojevich. The Democratic governor says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview with the show.

In Blagojevich's defense, you hire staff to investigate these things ahead of time. When they fail to do their job this is what happens.

It never ceases to amaze me that shows like this are able to do this to cndidates year after year. Blagojevich won't be the last to have the object of such a prank.

This is a good lesson for all campaigns. Know who you're talking to. While it seems like an innocent incident it hurts a candidate's credibility. To seem clueless about pop culture turns away voters 35ish and under.
