Blagojevich thought Daily Show interview was real

Out of touch?

 

Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled governor.

 

"It was going to be an interview on contraceptives ... that's all I knew about it," Blagojevich laughingly told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story for Thursday's editions. "I had no idea I was going to be asked if I was 'the gay governor.' "

 

The interview focused on his executive order requiring pharmacies to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control.

 

Interviewer Jason Jones pretended to stumble over Blagojevich's name before calling him "Governor Smith." He urged Blagojevich to explain the contraception issue by playing the role of "a hot 17-year-old" and later asked if he was "the gay governor."

 

At one point in the interview, a startled Blagojevich looked to someone off camera and said, "Is he teasing me or is that legit?"

That's the guy that owns Red Star Belgrade right?

No, he is now "dead" after being "assassinated" a few years back. He did own Red Star (Crvena Zvezda) but he handed the ownership over to his wife, singer Svetlana "Ceca" Raznatovic, before his murder. Since then, Dragan Stojkovic has become the President.
