Heh

Given the recent revelation of Patti Blagojevich's rather adult vocabulary (she was caught on tape dropping several F and S bombs), it might come as a surprise that she runs a Children’s Reading Club in Illinois that touts the importance of "building a good vocabulary." Just one week before her husband's was busted trying to sell Barack Obama's vacated Senate, she selected the club's December pick: How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Given her husband's recent indictment, it's safe to assume that the First Lady's Christmas season has been somewhat jeopardized. What's not clear is who plays the role of the Grinch in her real-life drama. Is it hard-nosed US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, reported whistle blower Rahm Emanuel or Barack Obama, who made a phone call a few months ago that may have led to Blagojevich's downfall?
