Just when we thought Sarah Palin was going to run away in January's Victim Standings for
repeated bouts of public whining, in steps Illinois Governor
Rod Blagojevich, a man not to be trifled with.
The Democratic Blagojevich, soon to be an inmate at a federal prison near you, insists that he isn't the guy caught on tape trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. He's actually the victim of a plot to raise taxes! "The heart and soul of this has been a struggle of me against the system," he announced last week.
Though he's short on details--like
really short--the governor says he's being attacked by unnamed villains who want to raise taxes to cover his expansion of state health care programs. His rationale, of course, remains a rather long walk from reality, but that's the beauty of being a victim! It doesn't have to make sense!
Judges gave Blogojevich major points for unfettered bullshit, but believe he'll need to do a lot more whining to make up for
Palin's pure volume.
