Chicago, IL -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich said that he didn't realize it was all a big joke when Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" came to do a segment on him recently, a segment that, among other things, made fun of his last name and suggested he might be gay.
As CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports, now its other candidates for governor who are having fun.
Now the whole world knows hes clueless, said Republican gubernatorial candidate Rod Gidwitz.
Blagojevich's "The Daily Show" interview focused on his executive order requiring pharmacies to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control. At one point, Blagojevich turned to an aide to ask if the interviewer was teasing him or serious.
Blagojevich told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Wednesday that he had never seen "The Daily Show" before doing the interview, which aired two weeks ago.
Gidwitz was just one of those poking fun at Blagojevichs claim he did not know what was going on.
A spokesman for cable TV's Comedy Central said that when they book interviews for their fake news segments, they always say upfront that they are calling from "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.
They declined to say anything more and seemed to want to stay out of the dispute.
