It's amazing how completely and utterly out of touch Blagojevich is with reality. Comparing himself to Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela! Unbelievable.

I would like nothing more than to have the actual taped recordings of the Governor's comments in the possession of the Federal prosecutors released to the public. Two versions would be appropriate: one with 'bleeps' to cover up his bad language and the other version the "full monty".
