You've got to hand it (in a non corrupt sale of course) to Illinois' embattled Governor Rod Blagojevich (D).  While fighting corruption charges, resisting impeachment, enduring public humiliation (presumably he is), the governor continues his routine.  He runs daily, even in Chicago's bitter cold and snowy streets.  He cleverly appoints an experienced  former Illinois official, Roland Burris (D) to replace former senator and now President-elect Barack H. Obama (D). Opponents of Burris are tainted and called racist while Blagojevich emerges as a wily statesman. 
 
And now, in another bold and brilliant move, he practically laughs in the faces of his accusers
 

A few weeks after the Cubs were swept from the 2008 playoffs, Gov. Rod Blagojevich decreed that a stretch of Northwest Highway in Park Ridge would henceforth be known as Honorary Jim Hendry Way.

When the Illinois Department of Transportation mounted the signs on some of its signal posts last month, the Cubs general manager, who is a resident of the northwest suburb, knew nothing about them.

Neither did Park Ridge officials, who just learned about them this week.

"I would think you'd at least have the courtesy to call someone up and say, 'We're going to do this,' " said Mayor Howard Frimark.

"Hold up that [bleeping] Cubs [bleeping] ... [bleeping] them." the complaint quotes her.
