Governor Pretty Boy

Our governor hit the AP wires. No, not as a dark horse candidate for the Dem nomination for president, thought there's probably only one person in the state who considers that even a possibility. Uh, maybe two, when he's in town, given their common interests. Original story in the Southern Illinoisan:

Going before bright lights and television cameras to deliver his annual budget speech, Gov. Rod Blagojevich paid a professional makeup artist $600 to help him look good. Records show the state paid Deborah Dee, a professional stylist from the Chicago-area town of Crystal Lake. Blagojevich spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff said the $600 amount included payment for Dee's travel and consultation on the lighting.

Fixing his face on our dime, while subjecting us to insufferable moralizing on a budget he has yet to fix.

Grow up. Governor Pretty Boy.
