"It's part of the grandiosity," Scott Ambers, a clinical psychologist, said of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's ample head of hair.

"It's all part of managing his image ... of being without a blemish, without a flaw," the Chicago psychologist is quoted as saying. He goes on to say that Blago's coif suggests he has an overinflated view of his own importance."
