Press ‘3’ for corruption

You can no longer buy a Senate seat from Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but you can buy “his” ringtones. [via DC examiner]

FunMobility.com, a company based in Pleasanton, Calif., has released five new “Blagotones” that allow you — like Blagojevich — to appear totally sketchy while — unlike Blagojevich — avoiding federal prosecution.

Two of the funniest ringtones are called “Wiretap” and have such quotes from an impersonator saying, “If I don’t get what I want ... I’ll just take the Senate seat myself” and “Our recommendation is to fire all the [expletive] people ... and get us some editorial support” (referring to Blagojevich’s alleged attempt to pressure the Chicago Tribune).

Another ringtone is set to Eminem’s “Slim Shady,” with the soon-to-be former governor answering a reporter’s question about having a cloud hanging over his head.
