Need a new ringtone? How about one of former Illinois Gov.’s Rod Blagojevich’s vulgar rants?

The State Journal Register, a newspaper in Springfield, Ill., is offering free ringtone and MP3 downloads of Blago’s best-known tirades. Because it’s a family newspaper, the Register had to put a lot of beeps over all the F-bombs, which I guess makes it sound even more like ringtone.

The ringtones come right from authentic FBI wiretaps during the Blago corruption probe.

“The whole world’s passing me by and I’m stuck in this BEEP job as governor for now.”

But wait, there’s more! As Blago puts on his defense this week against charges that he allegedly tried to sell President Obama’s former Senate seat to the highest bidder, who can forget:

“I’ve got this this thing and it’s BEEP golden. And I’m just not giving it up for BEEP nothing.”

The newspaper’s website is now getting a lot of buzz and thousands of hits. So click here to download Blago’s F-in’ ringtones for F’s sake.
