Blagojevich Likens Self to Ghandi, King, and Mandela – You Can’t Make This Stuff Up, Folks.

January 27, 2009 | Posted by Steve

You just can’t make this stuff up, folks.  There I was yesterday rushing through a breakfast of a bagel and left-over piece of my son’s birthday cake, when I heard deluded Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich liken himself to Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela.

I kid you not.

If I had not heard it with my own ears I might have thought someone was pulling a prank on me.

What is even more astonishing is that the interviewer didn’t have the smarts to actually stop this dope in his tracks and say, “Are you saying that you are like these great leaders because you are being persecuted, tortured, and beaten for your beliefs or because you are leading an epic peaceful resistance to free people living under oppressive regimes or conditions?”

No, the NBC interviewer (I think it was Amy Rohbach) just didn’t have the brain pan to stop this charlatan dead in his tracks.

Then he showed up on Good Morning America and The View and pretty much dropped a load of horse pucky all over each set without getting anything even resembling a decent grilling.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next time you hear Blagojevich (or anyone else, for that matter) liken themselves to Ghandi, King, or Mandela, ask them when the last time was they were clubbed with a police state truncheon.  That ought to put things into a tad better perspective.
