Politico.com posted a great compilation of Governor Rod Blagojevich over the last few months.  In a few scenes, he describes himself as somewhat of a role model.  Without him offering President Obama's seat one might actually think of him as a hero.  He is the son of Serbian immigrants.  He worked as a pizza delivery boy and even in a meat packing plant.  He later became a dishwasher to pay for his college tuition. 

He's climbed to the top from nothing.  Unfortunately for him, he lost all credibility years before this current scandal.  His life is sad, but the clip is funny.  View it by clicking here.
