My Take
Rod Blagojevich fascinates me as a study in how spectacularly American power can rise and fall. A Chicago kid, Northwestern-trained lawyer, climbing to the Illinois governorship, it reads like a clean success story until the scandal flipped the whole arc. I think his Sagittarian boldness cut both ways, fueling the ascent and the recklessness alike. Whatever one makes of his politics or his conduct, he became an uncomfortable mirror for the temptations of office. He is the kind of figure you cannot quite look away from, precisely because the light and shadow are so extreme.
