Blagojevich: 'I'm Blacker Than Barack Obama'
TPM Live Wire | Rachel Slajda | January 11, 2010

"It's such a cynical business, and most of the people in the business are full of shit and phonies, but I was real, man -- and am real. This guy, he was catapulted in on hope and change, what we hope the guy is. What the fuck? 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."

Little known fact: "blagojevich" is a Croatian word meaning "palin"

1. Smile? I think it's insane and racist at the same time

He's blacker because he shined shoes? (which I doubt anyway). So when does being black equate to shining shoes. God, he's nuts. He needs help, honestly.

3. I laughed, too.

The man is just absurd. "Nuts" is an understatement.

[nevergiveup]

2. Please go away, Rod

Every time he opens his mouth Republicans pick up another 10,000 votes in Illinois.
