1. Jeez, megalomania much?

Most politicians are narcissists with grandiose images of themselves, helps them survive the shit that gets thrown at them on the campaign trail.

Blagojevich's grandiosity is looking pathological, though. I think that guy just aint right in the head and that the extreme stress of the last few weeks is finally bringing that out.

He's blown his political career along with his cover, IMO, and if he doesn't get help soon, he'll be in a hug me jacket in a rubber room.

3. nah he has a pattern of this. For example, after a LONG drawn out budget

process where after months IL legis dems and repubs finally agreed on the budget blago came in and said "Oh I'm not gonna sign the budget unless senior citizens ride public transportation for free!". Granted, that sounds nice. But, he NEVER discussed this with anyone in the legislature and there was no money for this. Fares have had to go up and it helped many seniors. But, other seniors were angered because they could afford the cost and were offended.

blago has NO ability to work with others. This is just one example.

2. And his arrest was like Pearl Harbor...
