"Celebrity" Apprentice, Hold Your Lunch

  Not the first time I've been disgusted by the actions of Donald Trump, but this is special.  Rod Blagojevich never needed another nano-second in any kind of spotlight.  When asked why the selection of this dreg of humanity, Trump's answer was honest and simple "publicity."  In case you forgot, honest is not a word associated with the shamed ex-governor of Illinois.  Blagojevich was removed from office after he was caught trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Obama, among other acts of corruption.  He will compete on "Celebrity Apprentice" this season along with Bret Michaels, Cyndi Lauper, Sharon Osborne, Holly Robinson Peete, Sinbad, some athletes, and other people I'd never heard of.  Who will win?  Perhaps the bigger question is, who will watch?  The two-hour premiere starts tonight at 9 PM on NBC.  Two hours?  Doesn't Holly Robinson Peete, at least, see that this is programming time that could be used to employ actors in her own unions?  It's all for charity?  On the surface maybe, but if you ask me it's all for Trump.  Well, ratings don't lie and I'm not watching.  Could this be the final season?  Please?
