CHICAGO (AP) — Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he's "blacker than Barack Obama" and tells Esquire magazine that he was a real person in a political arena dominated by phonies.

Blagojevich, referring to the president as "this guy," says Obama was elected based simply on hope.

"What the (expletive)? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter," Blagojevich told the magazine for a story in its February issue, which hits newsstands Jan. 19.

"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.

The twice-elected Democrat was impeached and removed from office last year after federal prosecutors arrested him on corruption charges that included trying to sell Obama's old U.S. Senate seat. He has pleaded not guilty.

I guess getting kicked out of office helped him gain street cred...next he will wear his slacks off of his butt.

I was trying to come up with something witty to say here to shine a light on his idiocy, but I don't really need to, it shines bright on its own.

So that's what it means to be black. :thinking: Shined shoes, nope; five-room apartment, nope; laundry-mat a la George Jefferson, nope. Guess he's blacker than me too.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read it. He's waaaay blacker than me if that's what it takes.

I wonder whose head will be more valuable,Harry Reid's for his "no Negro dialect" comment or Blagojevich's. As a Black Republican,I'd want both!
