Blago defiant at press conference

All the world's a stage for Illinois' impeached (I love writing that) governor, Rod Blagojevich. So it's only mildly surprising that the man who counts Richard M. Nixon as one of his heroes quoted Alfred Lord Alfred Lord Tennyson during his press conference where he proclaimed that he is innocent of any crime.

Blago can write his own poems is prison.

Surrounding the Chicago Democrat during the press conference were beneficiaries of a state health care program. What a cad. He's hiding behind the sick and old. Blago's picture would've been perfect had there been a cute dog with a prosthetic leg in the gangster-governor's arms.

Where was the magnanimous Blagojevich when he defiantly turned down a request from a Kentucky nurse to get her Illinois licence back? Blago angrily refused her a favor, only because it was relayed through a downstate Republican state senator he didn't like.
