Governor Broken Heart...

UPDATE: Not the White House but the Big House for Blago? And a tale of two Fitzgeralds.
***
Former Illinois Republican Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, who pushed for the appointment in Chicago of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, downplays the probability that Karl Rove (who has denied this) would have gotten involved trying to pull him off the Rezko investigation. (Recall an unknown Rove helped Peter beat Carol Mostly Fraud.)

As impeachment rumbles rise, Governor Blagojevich isn't channeling Elvis now, but Hank Williams...
" 'You never stood in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes or watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies,' " Blagojevich said. " 'So help your brother along the way no matter where he starts because the same God that made you made him too, these men with broken hearts.'"
This, at a prayer breakfast. The man has no shame.
You will meet many just like me upon life's busy street.
with shoulders stooped and heads bowed low and eyes that stare in defeat.

Poor souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts,
for a living death is all that's left for men with broken hearts.

You have no right to be the judge, to criticize and condemn.
Just think but for the grace of God it would be you instead of him.

One careless step, a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts
and to those who weep death comes cheap, these men with broken hearts.

Oh so humble you should be when they come passing by,
for its written that the greatest of men never get too big to cry.

Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts,
with hope all gone, they walk alone these men with broken hearts.

You've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes,
or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies.

Some were paupers, some were kings, some were masters of the arts,
but in their shame they're all the same, these men with broken hearts.

Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death.
God why must these living dead know pain with every breath?

So help your brother along the road, no matter where he starts!
For the God that made you, made them too. These men with broken hearts!
Are you crying yet?
