Right before my eyes on Anderson Cooper. This, because he like Mandela were unfairly imprisoned.
Blago never knew just how corrupt our justice system was until it happened to him.
Hey, Blagojevich you are no Nelson Mandela. Jaysus he is sick.

Did he say "you were treated very unfairly"? Probably not.

Mandela was arrested by a completely corrupt racially biased apartheid system for the crime of trying to end segregation, discrimination, and brutal treatment of Black people by the South African regime.
Blogojevich was arrested for the heroic efforts of trying to sell a Senate seat and shakedown people and companies for 100k in donations.
It's like they were twins!! I just hope that Rod get's his Nobel Peace prize sooner rather than later.
