CHICAGO – Illinois' embattled but defiant governor turned to the history books to describe the emotional strain on him and his family, comparing his arrest last month to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States," .. "It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we'll prevail in this."

...

"I'm going to fight this to the very end," he said.

I understand the Pearl Harbor analogy. Someone set Blago up the F bomb.

In a game of Battleship, Fitzmas blew him up real good.

I feeeel for Blago. He in many ways represents the way things are done in Illinois gubamint and have been for years, no matter how many politicos in both parties got caught and sent up the river.

Anyone else here this, and think of John Belushi’s classic nonsensical rant in Animal House?

“When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor....”

One of you have to have something you can post about this.

You sick twisted freaks....(chuckle)

Blago is such a drama queen!

Very unbecoming for a mobster.

"I feeeel for Blago."

I feel for him too. I feel like he's crazy. Really, I think he could be having a psychotic break. If this was a Republican, it would be the top story on every morning news show.

As it stands, it just great entertainment. I hope he fights until the bitter end - and by the bitter end I mean until Obama pardons him and names him Secretary of Education, or even Attorney General.

For what its worth I think Blago thought that as one of the boys he had something coming to him. When Obama wanted this job given to his pick for free they fell out and Emmanuel put Fitz on the job to burn Blago. Blago was indeed to see that he was stabbed in the back and hopefully he will disclose a lot of crap about the goings on between himself and the Messiah.

I believe Fitz is probably as crooked as a dragon’s back

I happened to see it - two drama queens on at the same time. One should go to prison, the other should go to some other job.

“I hope he fights until the bitter end - and by the bitter end I mean until Obama pardons him and names him Secretary of Education, or even Attorney General.”

That was both funny for its absurdity, and sad for its potential to come to pass.

-—”I’m going to fight this to the very end,” he said.

So are we to interpret that as he’ll be committing hari kari in his prison cell?

In many respects, come to think of it, this cabbage patcher resembles Blago more than the other one. Look at it for a while, and consider those big, sad eyes! :>o

"Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States," ..

(weep, sniffle-sniffle, weep.)
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

yo Rod, better get a manly haircut before you go to prison.
A couple Tats too. Maybe snake on your neck?
But NO, "I Love Mom". You'll be Bubba's 'wife' on day one.

Send him a scathing email, 2nd time Shep has done this. I support Hot Rod. He got caught doing what all the others do all of the time. If he goes down, he's taking zer0, Rahm, Jarret, JJJ and others with him and they know it. GO HOT ROD!zer0 is mild compared to zer0. Hell Blago may end up being a National hero

I see that we agree.

However, writing that idiot a letter wouldn’t do anything but feed his ego.

Trying to convince a lib to recognize reality is an exercise of futility.
