I'm very sorry that I used the F word when I tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat to Jesse Jackson Jr.

Rishi sent along this summary of a recent interview with The Poet Laureate of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich.

I really hope this guy stays in the news for awhile longer, or forever. You couldn't write this stuff.

Appears as well that Pat Quinn is actually a deft hand in the realpolitik game. According to Governor Coif, "This is about raising taxes. Pat Quinn has cut a deal with Democratic leaders....It's all about getting rid of me to raise taxes on people."

And to the end, you get the sense that Blagojevich believes this nonsense even though he most certainly needed some help in coming up with it.
