Gov. Blagojevich Compares His Arrest to Attack on Pearl Harbor

Illinois’ embattled but defiant governor, so fond of reciting poetry as he defends himself against federal corruption allegations, has turned instead to the history books to describe the emotional strain his arrest put on him and his family.
In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
He says it was a “complete surprise” but he’ll prevail, just like America in World War II.
Blagojevich says there’s no chance he will resign before the start of the state Senate’s impeachment trial next week. He says he will fight the allegations against him “to the very end.”
The two-term Democrat is accused of scheming to swap President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat for personal gain.
Facing almost certain defeat in the Senate impeachment trial, Blagojevich might ask the courts to step in and block a proceeding that he considers “a sham,” a lawyer for the Democratic governor said.
Attorney Samuel E. Adam told The Associated Press on Thursday that a lawsuit challenging what he called “completely unfair” Senate trial rules is being prepared and could be filed to the state Supreme Court within days, pending a final decision on whether to move forward.
Blagojevich’s trial is set to begin Monday.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
“Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.”
Just when you think politics can’t get anymore bizarre
Blago is insane. What is it with them that they always compare things to things like this.
Remember back in April of last year, when Al Gore on “60 Minutes” compared the challenge of fighting global warming to the invasion of Normandy and the civil rights . And Shelia Jackson Lee, who, when told that the US space program had gotten to Mars, asked if they had been able to see the flag that the astronauts left there. She also blamed the Katrina deaths on the ” Supression of the black vote.”
