Ill. gov tells AP that strain is like Pearl Harbor



CHICAGO – Illinois' embattled but defiant governor turned to the history books to describe the emotional strain on him and his family, comparing his arrest last month to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States," Gov. Rod Blagojevich told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. "It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we'll prevail in this."

The two-term Democrat, speaking on a snowy sidewalk outside the office of one of his attorneys, said there was no chance he would resign before the start of his impeachment trial in the state Senate next week.

"I'm going to fight this to the very end," he said.

But that fight, Blagojevich said, most likely won't include his appearance at the trial to begin Monday. The governor, along with his lawyers, say the trial rules are unfair, in part because they bar him from calling witnesses who are likely to be called in any criminal corruption trial later.

"The strain is like Pearl Harbor."
The title made me think of serious constipation. "Oh Mannn, I've got to drop another torpedo. Oh Mannn, I musta sunk a battleship!"

I heard his press conference today.  I think he secretly wants to be a cowboy.

The governor's apparently a couple of cans short of a six-pack. Or, I guess in Chicago, a couple of toppings short of a deep-dish pizza.
