Gov. Blagojevich Compares His Arrest to Attack on Pearl Harbor
No. Really. You can’t make this stuff up.
Illinois’ embattled but defiant governor, so fond of reciting poetry as he defends himself against federal corruption allegations, has turned instead to the history books to describe the emotional strain his arrest put on him and his family.
In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
He says it was a “complete surprise” but he’ll prevail, just like America in World War II.
Blagojevich says there’s no chance he will resign before the start of the state Senate’s impeachment trial next week. He says he will fight the allegations against him “to the very end.”
The two-term Democrat is accused of scheming to swap President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat for personal gain.
Facing almost certain defeat in the Senate impeachment trial, Blagojevich might ask the courts to step in and block a proceeding that he considers “a sham,” a lawyer for the Democratic governor said.
Attorney Samuel E. Adam told The Associated Press on Thursday that a lawsuit challenging what he called “completely unfair” Senate trial rules is being prepared and could be filed to the state Supreme Court within days, pending a final decision on whether to move forward.
I wonder if he will compare his sentence to Hiroshima? It won’t surprise me. I won’t underestimate this guy’s crap again. Of course Barack Obama has no idea who this guy is. Right?

That’s definitely being full of one’s self, isn’t it?
And liberals condemn Nixon. Yet Clinton and Blago have done far worse and are getting off Scott free.
This blabbering braying mindless stupid jacka** has just insulted the name of all those who were at PEARL HARBOR on DEC 7TH 1941 but what else can you ever expect from the stupid mindless jacka** a four legged donkey is more intelligent.
