Blago's Parting Comments

As he awaited the Illinois state senate's vote which would unanimously impeach him of his governorship and, bar him from ever holding public office in the state again,  Rod J. Blagojevich (affectionately referred to by some in Illinois as "Blowdryavich") uttered some incredible words:

"We should have been more selfish, not selfless,” he said. “It sounds probably perverse for me to say that based on what some people are saying about me. But it’s true. My family, we didn’t take advantage of all these things that people do. My successor has done a whole bunch as the lieutenant governor — taken all kinds of trips all over the world and trade missions — like he’s got anything to do with anything as lieutenant governor."

For the past two months, this man has been publicly raked over the coals for his unethical behavior and abuse of power as Governor of Illinois, and what does he have to say for himself?  That he should have taken more advantage of his influence and been even more corrupt than he was?

That is some shameful shit.
