Dogs are not politicians, but there's a man in California who thinks his dog would do a better job as Illinois governor than Rod Blagojevich. Given all the corruption charges leveled at Blagojevich recently, he might have a point.

Michael Sunday has launched an Internet campaign to have his family's 14-year-old Border Collie, Scuba, replace the embattled governor, who is charged with attempting to sell the Senate seat once occupied by Barack Obama, the President-elect.

Scuba (pictured above) is described on the Web site as mostly deaf, but supposedly that's a good thing -- he certainly wouldn't hear calls to step down from the job if he's accused of any improprieties. That's something Blagojevich seems unable to do.

Campaign promises? Here's what Scuba's family says: "He may sleep through all the staff meetings, but calls from gangsters will go unanswered. Right now you need to trust someone. Who better than a governor who will lie at your feet, lick your face and open screen doors with his nose."

I'll bet Blagojevich can't do those things.

Hey, Scuba might be as effective as anyone else in the Senate right now. I think the hearing loss is a major bonus. I'm adding my vote for Scuba!!
