I am sitting here watching the news, and Blagojevich never ceases to amaze me with what comes out of his mouth. His wife is going to be on I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here, and they were discussing that.
Blagojevich then said, possibly paraphrasing here, "i don't think of myself as a celebrity, i'm more in the vein of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman..." Really. You are like FDR? Let they eye rolling begin!

Yes, everytime he appears it seems to be an eyerolling moment:)
Ditto that!
Thank you Samantha for commenting on this, I'm glad you agree!
lol I know. I shouldn't be surprised by anything that comes out of his mouth, but yeah...some people just don't know when to keep quiet. Thanks for commenting Frugal mom, I appreciate it!
Oh brother!
I know Darlene! lol Really, the nerve of some people!
FDR??? LOL!!!
oh geez
Oh my goodness. He probably believes that.
The really sad part is, I think he actually does believe that. Only someone that oblivious could make a comment like that.
Oh geeze....ROFL
lmao! I didnt realize he was a comedian
LOL Bryan, that actually would explain his bizarre behavior and statements.
jeez!
He's an idiot. I'm so glad he is out of office. Pat Quinn is doing a much better job so far. Our local news also ran a story where he is endorsing a shampoo to volumize hair and get his "look." Get real! I almost wish the courts would have let Blago go on the show. Can you imagine how the phone lines would have been jammed with what the people of Illinois would have voted for sending his way??? (Can you tell I live in Illinois???)
I live in Chicago Renee, and I like Pat Quinn immensely. I read something about that, the Blago shampoo. LOL I am quite surprised that Patti is standing by him, as I was sure she'd divorce him after the impeachment trial. I don't understand either of them.
Despite the quibbles that he and Daley have had, Quinn seems to be competent. If I were Patti, I would dump him for a much younger man and live in the same apartment complex as Oprah!
Quinn is a very good governor. I think he does care about the citizens of Illinois, outside of himself. I am actually shocked Patti hasn't left him, as I was sure she was going to do so after the whole impeachment trial. Maybe I'm too much of a cynic though.
Thank you for commenting I love, Bryan, Elaine, Marilyn, Anne and Kay, I appreciate it!
I thouroughly enjoy watching the man....pure entertainment value...
lol yeah it's sort of sad seeing him continue to self destruct.
Thank you for commenting Karen and Renee, I appreciate it!
Beth, I'll have to ask about Chicago. I read something yesterday that said that Chicago politicians and powers that be and criminal elements have the same attitude there as in Vegas - what happens there stays there. Some think that's why corrupt politicians have no fear about what they've done...because people won't talk.
Yeah there is too much corruption here in Chicago. Very rare is the honest politician, and the politicians here are too closely tied to the gangs and mafia here. It's amazing Obama was able to rise above this
he hehe....that is too freakin' funny.....gotta love those cricked polly-ti-tions!!
lol Debby you are right about that! Thank you for commenting Debby and Marilyn, I appreciate it!
He's not nearly in the league of the president's mentioned, not is he a true celeberty..
Ya ask me he's famous for being stupid and that's a famous I wouldn't want
lol Nancy I agree with you wholeheartedly!
I saw them on the Today Show this morning. I like how they kept saying they're doing it for their children. And did you notice how he continually talked over everyone else?
Wasn't he supposed to be on that show but the judge wouldn't let him leave the country?
OMG a crook comparing himself to FDR or Harry Truman !
Well, alrighty then. I guess he must live in a huge fantasy world.
I know! This guy is a piece of work! And yeah JoAnn, he was supposed to be on it, now his wife is since he can't!. Thank you for commenting Kat, Phil, JoAnn and Kimberly, I appreciate it!
I am so glad he's out of office finally. He made a joke of the whole thing.. I don't know who to blame though him or his father in law who is just as full of himself... I guess power makes you corrupt .. period.. I couldn't beleive they wanted him on reality show.. I mean enough is enough
I agree with you Praj. He showed he only cared about himself and not the taxpayers or residents of Illinois. This is why having relatives in politics is a terrible idea, it tends to corrupt.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I know Cortney! It's hard for anyone to take him seriously when he acts like that. Thank you for commenting Cortney and Digital, I appreciate it!
I chuckled reading the replies. I don't have anything to add, but agree with many of the posts.
FDR? he's really reaching with that one!
lol yes he is Fran! Thank you for commenting Mary and Fran, I appreciate it!
Amazing.
I agree Sheila! Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it!
