Is it something in the air in Cook County that turns politicians into shady, law breaking goons with endless arrogance?
While Barack Obama’s egomania is thick and undeniable, he’s not nearly as bad as another Illinois politico, the Governor Rod Blagojevich. Blago was caught on tape allegedly seeking to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat for lots of ca$h, which I guess is standard m.o. in his neck of the woods. Ever since he was arrested, Blago has put on a thick woe-is-me Joan of Arc act. (Except that Joan of Arc was actually innocent.)
Upon getting a phone call from federal agents, the Democrat Governor recently said “I thought about Mandela, Dr. King and Gandhi and tried to put some perspective to all this and that is what I am doing now.”
I don’t know about you, but the last people I’d be thinking about when facing incarceration is Mandela, Dr. King, and Gandhi unless I was an egomaniac like Blagojevich with a martyr complex. Why stop there, Rod? Why not insert Jesus, Buddha, Pope Benedict and the Dalai Lama into the conversation also?
