The embarrassing saga of the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, is sad enough to watch and is made worse by the fact it is Obama's home seat. But I want to throw up when I hear him use great poems by Rudyard Kipling and Tennyson to justify his behavior.
It has made me reflect on the difference between the impeachment drive on Blagojevich and the drive to impeach Clinton. Both have lied. One lied over something that was naughty and the other has appeared to act illegally. One is a basically good man that was sometimes stupid, and finally acknowledged his lack of judgment. The other if fundamentally a questionable character but then also doesn't care about anything but himself.
Rod, read the poem 'If" again, it also says, "...being lied about, don't deal in lies, being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:" and also "...and start again at your beginnings, and never breath a word about your loss".
For the sake of your State, GO
