"I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived," Blagojevich said. "I saw it all growing up."

The White House refused to comment.

Great. He shined shoes. But did he tap dance and eat watermelon while he was doing it?

Blagovich is like a missing member of The Sopranos, douchebaggery in a sweatsuit and all.
He's certainly more of a dirtbag than Barack Obama, I'll give him that.

I'm amazed that he was able to become Governor. Maybe he wasn't being himself during those years. He's either finally being himself now, or he needs to adjust the dosage on his medication. (Or both.)

What the ****?

Seriously, BlagojeBITCH is just upset because he got impeached. Grow up. The last person that needs to talk is him after all he did.

What a worthless piece of ****.

I think the guy can't stand it if he goes too long without seeing his name in print. What a stupid thing to say.

Default Blago's got ethnic soul

Blago is 100X blacker that Barack Obama. He grew up the ethnic hard way. On the other hand Barack Obama is the whitest of whiteboys, you would have to be a racist that only sees skin color to not realize this.

Barack Obama was raised by his white WASP bank vice president grandma and surrounded by WASPs his whole childhood. There was no hustle or struggle. His bank vice president grandmother was rich. Blago's dad was an immigrant plant worker that barely spoke English. Blago paid dues washing dishes, shining shoes and delivering pizza. Barack got fast tracked into WASP elite Harvard. Barack had the typical easy going life of a rich whiteboy smoking pot and enjoying the permissiveness that wealth brings; the drugs and loose morals of WASP wealth. He was not only raised white by whites but he was raised in the elite ruling class WASP kind of way. As president Barack serves the ruling class quite well while appeasing and appealing to those that are supposedly opposed to the WASP ruling class. Yes Barack Obama is the whitest of whiteboys.

Wait a second. So if you don't grow up struggling, you're not truly black?

And if you're dark-skinned and grow up comfortably, you're actually white?
