RALEIGH, N.C. – What’s a ticket to next week’s Duke-North Carolina game worth? How about a seat in the North Carolina Senate?
That’s what Sen. Eddie Goodall is offering on eBay in exchange for two tickets to the Tobacco Road rivalry game.
The Union County Republican said Friday he was inspired by the impeachment of ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY’-uh-vich), but insists with a laugh that he’s no crook.
His ad only offers the actual seat on which he sits, and not a chance to take over his elected office. He paid $788 for the black leather swivel chair three years ago.
Goodall had received no bids by Friday afternoon, which is just as well, since he says it’s all meant to be a joke.
