Governor Inspiration

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, what a guy! Jogger, man of the people, poet. (Video below) Sun Times:

Hours after he was impeached by the Illinois House, Gov. Blagojevich vowed at a news conference this afternoon: "I will fight every step of the way."

"I'm confident that at the end of the day, I will be properly exonerated," he said. "In the meantime, I have a job to do for the people."

Blagojevich said he wasn't surprised by the impeachment vote, which he blamed on a Legislature that has blocked his attempts to pass, among other things, health care reform.

And then, poetry:

He ended the news conference by quoting a poem from "Ulysses" by Lord Alfred Tennyson, ending with: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

An inspiration to us all
