Highlights from the Blago drinking game
* 1 drink per declaration of innocence
* 1 drink for every time he says "I can't wait to tell the public" and then gives excuses as to why he can't.
* 1 drink per self-repetition. "I will fight, I will fight, I will fight" would be 3 drinks.
* 1 drink for each oppressed minority leader he refers himself to
* 2 drinks for every non-Kipling poetry reference
* 2 drinks for each time he references non-impeachable actions as reason for impeachment, i.e., keeping taxes low, AllKids, free rides for seniors, etc.
* 3 drinks per martyr he compares himself to
* Full bottle if he announces his presidential bid for 2016

i hated that, but at the same time i really liked it because it meant that...
