Oxygen depravation must have overtaken Gov. Rod Blagojevich the other day at the Democratic National Convention in the Mile High City when he actually bragged to an Associated Press reporter he's "a great governor". Ah, The Hound sees another Illinois pol as a legend in his own mind. If The Hound could text message the gov, it would be: LOL.
This is the governor who has reigned over play-for-play to do business with the state; who is referred to as "Official A" in a federal indictment; this is the governor who invited a Mr. Rezko to be one of his advisers (attention, Barack Obama); this is the governor who can't get along with his fellow Democrats (except for Emil Jones Jr. and Emil Jones III); this is the governor who thinks Elvis Presley is the greatest singer in the world.
Despite that kumbaya hugfest led by U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. during the Illinois caucus session Wednesday, his fellow Dems don't trust him. For that matter, Blago doesn't trust Illinois voters. He's impaled them for the past six years, except when he's giddy on a Rocky Mountain high.
