Like I do with everything in my life, I say we turn this scandal in to an excuse to have a theme party! Here are some tips to host your very own “ImPEACH Blogovich” shin-dig.
* Some Chicago news channels are broadcasting the impeachment hearing live. DVR (or if you are aracaic like Brandi/Brady…VHS record) the hearings for your party. Because Blogo decided not to attend his own ImPEACHment party, record his interviews on the talk show circuit.
* Create an e-vite for your friends using jokes from the late night shows and embed a video from SNL for laughs. If you are feeling creative, take an extra step by wording your invite using Blog-speak. For example…
- ”I’m hosting this thing and it’s going to be (expletive) golden.”
- “Parachute yourself here” by 8
- If you want to bring a dish… “It’s got to be good stuff for the people of Illinois and good for me.”
- ”I’m hosting this thing and it’s going to be (expletive) golden.”
- “Parachute yourself here” by 8
- If you want to bring a dish… “It’s got to be good stuff for the people of Illinois and good for me.”
* While Blogo is on his NYC media tour, the awesome quotes keep coming. Decorate your home with Hot Rod pictures and posters containing his quotes. Incase you have a friend that isn’t up on current events, print out some news stories about the whole Chicago political mess and have some recent magazines like Time or Newsweek on hand.
* Ask friends to dress like Blogo. Give the person with the best hair impression a prize. For my attire, I would totally mock Hot Rod’s jogging sweat suit look. If you are reader Brian, you will come dressed as Judy Barr Topinka (JBT) – the woman Blogo defeated in 2006 and publicly tortured with some really catchy election commercials. 
* The whole saga started over a senate seat, so encourage friends to bring an item (maybe a sucky Christmas gift) to the party. Award the best item the faux sensate seat. And remember, in the words of Rod, the top prize “is a [expletive] valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.” Donate the losing items to charity.
* Fight over the Senate Seat with a good, old fashioned game of musical chairs. Use patriotic songs like “Yankee Doodle,” for game tunes.
* Bring the imPEACHment theme alive with peach cocktails and foods. Bars in Chicago have created signature drink names that you can recycle for your party like the ImPEACH-tini (Nacional27) and the Effen Impeach Blogo (Harry Carey’s). Don't forget some delicious peach cobbler and those tasty peach gummies.

I hope your party is (expletive) golden.
