I just had a really disturbing thought (that’s #214 for the day, for those of you playing along at home)… This NYT article makes some pretty strong statements implications about the mental stability of Illinois Thief-in-Chief Blagojevich, to wit:
Delusional, narcissistic, vengeful and profane, Mr. Blagojevich as portrayed by federal prosecutors shocked even his most ardent detractors.
And…
Mike Jacobs, a Democratic state senator and former friend of the governor, suggested that Mr. Blagojevich may have lost his grip on reality.
“I’m not sure he’s playing with a full deck anymore,” Mr. Jacobs said. “I think he brought a lot of this on himself. He’s so gifted, but so flawed in a number of fundamental areas. It’s like he dared the feds to come get him.”
And…
“The combination of arrogance and stupidity that would prompt him to continue in these types of behaviors is just stunning,” Dr. Redfield said. “There’s no feedback loop or reality check.”
Mr. Blagojevich had grown increasingly isolated in recent years, particularly from his own state’s Legislature and even from his father-in-law, Dick Mell, a powerful longtime Chicago alderman who showed him the political ropes as a younger man.
The governor was rarely seen around his offices in Chicago and Springfield, preferring instead to spend time at home on the North Side.
“I believe he became a prisoner of his own home,” Mr. Jacobs said.
We’re not trying to make the case that anything that comes out of this fool’s mouth is suspect because he’s mentally touched in the head, are we, fellas? Because he might have some very interesting things to say about Obama’s past in Illinois, things Big MediaTM just hasn’t been interested in hearing.
Until, maybe, like now.
I see a “You can’t believe anything a lunatic says, can you?” argument in Obama’s future.

Obama: I was just a community organizer when Blagojevich went insane and sold me my democratic Senate nomination; I’m not responsible for how I made it to the U.S. Senate.

I’m sorry … but I’m real puzzled by the hullabaoo!
What is this asshat doing that’s different from the common evryday garden variety Democrat??
I mean, besides getting caught by the FBI (what’s that all about anyway? They NEVER investigate Democrats)
