"I thought about Mandela, Dr. King and Gandhi and tried to put some perspective to all this."
-- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, on his arrest by federal agents on corruption charges

Yeah. You're in the same class as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr. Yeah, just go on thinking that. I'm looking forward to the speech he's going to give the impeachment court/panel/whatever.

The radio station I listen to in the morning plays that clip just about every day (the clip of Mayor Daley calling him "cuckoo" is also pretty funny). This morning, they were talking about who he's going to compare himself to today when he speaks. We must laugh, else we would scream.

Blago, please STFU. You've already managed not only to make us the laughingstock of the nation, but to do so at the time when we should be the most proud.

Governor F-Word isn't anywhere near the class of those gentlemen, and despite what the thinks about it, there's a high enough probability that he was actually engaged or planning criminal behavior, instead of being arrested for advocating nonviolent resistance against injustices.
