Rod Blagojevich

AGE: 52
OCCUPATION: Former Illinois governor
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: The dynamically coiffed Blago treated his exile as a celebrity roast, smiling for photographs and getting noogied on The View. He even landed a six-figure tell-all book deal. To paraphrase Blago, What the f___?

CON: He's still facing a federal indictment for allegedly trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat. Plus there's that whole shame-of-a-nation thing.
