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.

But does he know the negro dialect?.
And he’s headed to the joint. That should add to his street cred.
oh oh - they’re starting to crawl out from under the bus - those folk have nothing left to lose. They’ll wax ‘expletives’ on obummer’s head -
It’s gonna be a real hoot....
Don’t hold back now Rod, you’ve got nothing else to lose. Spill the beans, we all know you are just waiting to drop the bomb.
Go Rod Go!
I wish Blago would spill the beans. Why not? He is going to jail anyway. And he is the dumbest turd from Illinois in quite some time.
So if has any dirt on Obammie and his political mobster pals...
Bring it.
Hey Blago..tell us what you know about the BC.
I am sure Blago will get pardoned to keep his mouth shut.
Yes.
Either that or he will suffer a quick, untimely death from a previously undetected heart problem, brain tumor, etc. etc...

Lisa Madigan, daughter of the Illinois Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan, to Obama’s seat.
“I hate her and him,” Blago says. “But if I could get a public-works jobs bill, if I can get the expansion of health care, if I can get foreclosure relief” — all of which, Blago claims, were being held hostage by the Speaker — “I’d hold my nose and make her a senator.

“That house with the flag, and then there’s the lot right next door — (Rahm) bought that. When he left the [Clinton] White House, he got into some deal where he made a quick $15 million through his connections with Exelon ComEd — amazing. Fifteen million — it’s that white-collar stuff people do. He’s using his connections in the White House, but I’m the guy facing what I’m facing. And I’m broke.”
How ...
“He makes that money, and he’s where he is. I’m busted, I’m broke, because I’ve worked as an honest public official, and the federal government, my very accusers themselves, say I’m indigent. It’s unbelievable.”
