From CNN Political Producer Kristi Keck


(CNN) - Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he's "blacker than Barack Obama," and tells Esquire magazine that the "strength of the truth in America" will one day vindicate him.

The governor, who was impeached after being accused of trying to sell the Senate seat vacated by President Obama, says most of the people in politics are "full of s*** and phonies, but I was real."

Blagojevich tells the magazine that Obama was "catapulted in on hope can change, what we hope the guy is...

"What the f***? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter. 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. I saw it all growing up," he says.

I really really hate that guy. 

Why?  What did he do to you?

[Ed Anger]

I love his hair.

"Blacker than Barack Obama" isn't setting the bar very high.

[merithyn]

Why?  What did he do to you?

Tried very hard to bankrupt my state morally and financially. Tried even harder to embarrass us (which, imo, he accomplished quite well).

I did not vote for him, and I was incredibly happy that he was kicked very far out of the political structure in Illinois.

Serbs

Serbs

I thought you worked with reasonably decent Serbians all the time?  For some reason, I've liked all the Serbians I've ever met and hated all the Bosnians.  Especially cause one of them went fucking retarded postal and killed my 15 year old cousin.

Serbians = not Muslim
Bosnians = Muslim

Any questions?

Sorry about your cousin.

Still, Serbs are usually pretty ok folks, but that doesn't preclude them form being silly now and then.

Yeah, kinda like promoting yourself as "Whiter than Welk".

This thread reminds me of the white politician who was giving a campaign address to a group of black voters and told them, "My heart is as black as yours".  I don't think there are many people of any race whose hearts are any blacker than Blagojevich's.

George Wallace said that (well according to wikiquotes it was: "Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here." but close enough)
