Preview: Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in order to discuss his recent impeachment and ousting from office.
It shows what an incredible tool is Letterman that Rod Blagoyevich even comes off better than him during an interview. Letterman is a judgemental old piece of dirt and not that funny really.
honey, the evidence was pretty damning and while guilty until proven innocent in a court of law is the gold standard I'm pretty sure the US district attrney doesn't go around harassing the rich and powerful with false accusations.
Also the legislature is not a court of law and has the right to remove the govenor from office for whatever reason they like, biased or not the only check on them is how the political winds are blowing.
There is little doubt that Gov. Blagojevich was not well-liked by most legislators. He was not an easy man to work with and very much tended to do things "his way." But the ability to get along and work with others is not an inherent requirement to be an elected official. This was very much a case of "guilty until proven innocent," and blatantly demonstrated a misuse of legislative authority, as biased lawmakers used dislike and mere allegations to remove a sitting governor.
A well known Serbian writer and politican Dobrica Ćosić wrote this 1961 about his fellow Serbian:"We lie to deceive ourselves, to console others, we lie for mercy, we lie to fight fear, to encourage ourselves, to hide our and somebody else's misery. We lie for love and honesty. We lie because of freedom. Lying is a trait of our patriotism and the proof of our innate intelligence. We lie creatively, imaginatively and inventively."
Haha, are they playing 'I did it my way' at the beginning?
