In an expletive-ridden chat in the Feb. issue of Esquire Magazine, ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich rants about his upcoming trial on felony corruption charges and charges that he’s “blacker than Barack Obama.” Referring to the president as “this guy,” Blagojevich says Obama was elected on a platform based simply on hope.
“This guy, he was catapulted in on hope and change, what we hope the guy is. What the f&*#? Everything he’s saying’s on the teleprompter. 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. I saw it all growing up,” Blagojevich scoffs in the story, which hits newsstands Jan. 19. “I saw it all growing up.”
