On Saturday Night Live this weekend Amy Poehler and Seth Myers roasted scandal-ridden Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich in a segment they called “Really!?!” Poehler and Myers riffed on how inconceivable it is that Blagojevich has continued to refuse to resign when he was caught on tape soliciting compensation for the Obama Senate seat appointment. As Myers put it: “Even Illinois politicians are saying you should resign, and when Illinois politicians think you’re too corrupt-you’re too corrupt.”
