CHICAGO (AP) -- Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he's "blacker than Barack Obama" and tells Esquire magazine that he was a real person in a political arena dominated by phonies.
Blagojevich, referring to the president as "this guy," says Obama was elected based simply on hope.
"What the (expletive)? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter," Blagojevich told the magazine for a story in its February issue, which hits newsstands Jan. 19.

I was about to post this. Frickin’ hilarious. (and he has a point, too)
He has great hair, I’ll give him that.
>>”What the (expletive)? Everything he’s saying’s on the teleprompter,” Blagojevich told the magazine for a story in its February issue, which hits newsstands Jan. 19.
“I’m blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived,” Blagojevich said. “I saw it all growing up.”
Go ahead Blago, tell us how his rich Kenyan heritage is completely different from your American one! After all, his Kenyan father graduated Harvard in the same way that he did.
Maybe a future Senator from Nevada since he can’t run in Illinois ever again.
He’s a better radio talk show host than he was a governor. He was slamming Mike Madigan, John Cullerton, Dick Durbin, and Pat Quinn on his show earlier today.
I listened for a bit then took my kids sledding, much more important.
Hey Blago, I bet you know something about Obama hidden skeletons.
He doesn’t represent me. I think they are both are MOrons.
I know this guy is a card carrying turd, but part of me still likes him.
If one likes 70’s style John Davidson type hair.
I believe it was Charles Barkley who said, “I’m no role model.” It’s the same advice Richard M. Nixon should’ve given an impressionable Rod Blagojevich when the two met briefly outside Nixon’s New York home in 1980. Nixon, of course, had already been shamed and destroyed by the Watergate scandal, yet the young Blagojevich insisted he and his traveling buddy, who snapped the above photo (it briefly appeared in a WTTW profile about Blagojevich after he was elected), wait vigilantly for the former president.
Oh, You’ll pay for that, Crackah!
Helmet hair. So much lacquer in it, bullets bounce off.
But is he blacker than Clinton, who was the first black president?
Blago does have a good point on this.
He stole it from George Hamilton.
Who stole it from Jack Kennedy.
