TRIBUNE VOICES
Rod Blagojevich, Drew Peterson just trying to play us for fools

By Rex W. Huppke | Tribune reporter
    January 26, 2009

By hiring the public-relations firm that represents former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, the impeached governor of Illinois has accomplished two things.

He has given the green light to those of us who felt timid about drawing comparisons between his brash behavior and Peterson's. And he has cemented our state's new marketing slogan as: "Come to Illinois. Chock full o' crazy."

Granted, Rod Blagojevich's situation and Peterson's are vastly different. One stands accused of trying to sell President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat; the other is a suspect in the death of his third wife and disappearance of his fourth wife. Both, without question, should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But would it be too much to ask that they also remain quiet until proven innocent?

Blagojevich's impeachment trial begins Monday, and the governor is spending the day on a national media blitz, appearing on "Good Morning America," "The View," and in the I-Didn't-Do-It! chair across from Larry King. Portions of an interview with the governor appeared Sunday on NBC's "Today" show, putting him on a chatty path similar to the one Peterson has followed.

And it's baffling. Just about anyone who has watched Peterson's antics—flirting with female reporters, considering a "Win a Date with Drew" radio contest—would struggle to see how the former cop has helped himself by accentuating what many consider a spine-tingling creepiness.

And yet there went Blagojevich on Friday, spinning a political conspiracy theory over Chicago airwaves that made the rather unintimidating Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn sound like the head of some tax-hungry cabal. The governor proceeded to hire Peterson's PR firm, which seems a bit like hiring the town drunk to boost your image following a DUI arrest.

Presumably more nuttiness will come Monday. And while voyeuristically satisfying, a PR blitz like this should be recognized for what it is: an affront to our intelligence. It's a rope-a-dope strategy, and we're the dopes.

Criminal suspects such as Blagojevich and Peterson, along with their supposedly media-savvy handlers, are hoping our focus on the actual crimes alleged will be lost like socks in a spin cycle. The guy with the mustache and the guy with the perfect hair want to make themselves guilty pleasures, infectious media characters or Paris Hilton-esque oddities.

It's the only way to explain how two wholly different Illinoisans could handle their situations in a strikingly similar fashion. With what Blagojevich would call "testicular virility," they seem to be laying out insanity defenses, or at least delusional defenses, before the court of public opinion.

Perhaps there's some capitalist end to all this. Maybe Peterson and the governor are hoping to make their stories irresistible to Hollywood, shaping plots even the best screenwriters couldn't drum up.

We should deny them that. We should tune out and look away from the diversionary fires they keep setting. We should remind them that, while we have our guilty pleasures, we aren't a nation of dummies.

Then perhaps the accused will stop hiring PR firms, and start recognizing there's an admirable grace to keeping your mouth shut.
