Hijacking Greatness December 19, 2008
Posted by Resident Egoist in : Politics , trackbackIllinois Governor and alleged auctioneer of Obama’s U.S Senate seat, Rod Blagojevich, is not going down like Elliott Spitzer. In his own words: ”I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong…”. Poor selfless soul that he is, he’s only doing it for the people of Illinois, and he’s doing so with a lot of eloquence! Just today, in the course of a single press conference, he acknowledged the existence of – get this! – the U.S Constitution and asked that he be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and then went on to cite Rudyard Kipling in his defense. I quote, once again:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating
That’s Ayn Rand’s favorite poem, I heard.
