I'm seriously thinking Blagojevich is comparable to Spiro Agnew, they didn't really do anything not common to high-ranking politicos; they were just stupid in how they went about it.
@dyslexia,
True. If you pay attention to Il. politics you will notice that the leg. is still blameing the present governor for all the problems that they caused.
@dyslexia,
Yeh, but I doubt that Blago ever made any speeches as rousing as Agnew's "nattering nabobs of negativism" spiel, or similar.
@Merry Andrew,
He could spin out a phrase, couldn't he?
I liked "an effete corps of impudent snobs".
@George,
Don't you sometimes wonder whether his speech writers weren't all closet Democrats and were snickering behind his back when he actually came out and
said these things?
