I guess I’ve lived as an American long enough to realize that when someone is convicted in a court of law ….. he is GUILTY. Our legal system is full of carefully institued checks and balances that practically guarantee a fair trial. So here comes defrocked ex-governor ‘Blago’ claiming a tyrade of jive talk about how he’s innocent, didn’t do anything wrong, had no say so in his defense, and on and on. ( funny, during the five years I did jail ministry I never met one person there who was “guilty”…anyway ). In fact all 59 of his peers asked for his impeachment. So my entry today into the funniest thing I ever heard category is this quote from our “innocent” defrocked ex-governor :
I'm not going to say this is an easy time,'' he said. "But ... there are tens of thousands of people across America just like me who are losing their jobs or lost their jobs. I'm not looking for any pity, and I don't need anybody to feel bad for me. Because I'll be just fine.''
HaHaHa….he throws the term “just like me” around like it means “ people who were laid off due to the hard times we are in”, or “ people who are down on their luck because of the economic downturn we find ourselves in”…..he neglects to say that he is not at all like the average Joe that lost his job – BLAGO is a convicted, defrocked, proven-guilty by law crook ! On top of that he has an enormous number of devoted followers who want him to "keep up the fight".
