What would politics be right now without the wonderful governor of IL. In the last few days he has compared himself to a cowboy being lynched, a character in a Frank Capra movie, and a little indirectly to Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandala.

Ya know though, one of those is dead on, he is like a character in a Frank Capra movie ... Senator Joseph Paine.

I'm waiting for him to liken himself to Harry Potter, Phil Spector, Scooby and Scrappy Doo, Jesus, Budda, and Aragon, for good measure.

His is a fresh kind of crazy. Mess up his hair and he'd be Gary Busey.

Paine redeemed himself in the end.

Let us not forget that he likened his arrest to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

I just can't believe all you people, being so vicious about Gov. Roddy Baby. Don't you realize that he's just being targeted by The Man? They're trying to get rid of him so they can raise taxes.

Why don't you all understand!!!???!!!

he went from quoting Kipling and Tennyson to cowboy analogies..

I think he was quoting the right authors, but the wrong poems

sadly we cant hang him for political corruption, although drumming him out of office he could quote part of Danny Deever

i liken his antics to Charge of the Light Brigade, with the cannons being crewed by the IL Senate

You know, you have to admit that a remake of "Jailhouse Rock" with Blago playing the Elvis part, but in prison for *real* might be at least mildly amusing.

Meanwhile at the inauguration, Cheney looks like he's about to rename Bedford Falls "Cheneysville."

Coincidence?

Maybe he'll next say that his adventures would make a good movie---The Passion of the Blago, or something like that.

Frankly, if I were black, that cheap pandering would absolutely enrage me.
