Blago’s Must-Hear Audio: ‘I Have Nothing To Fear But The Truth’

Add comment July 3rd, 2008

Gov. Rod Blagojevich today had a blowout with Chicago reporters who relentlessly shouted questions about the federal probe of his hiring, contracting and fundraising activities.

Blagojevich — allowing himself uncanny exposure to the media — shouted back.

He said reporters asked “stupid,” “absurd” and “ridiculous” questions.

My favorite Blagojevich line?

“I have nothing to fear but the truth.”

I’m wondering: Did Blagojevich, with that remark, accidentally speak the truth? Roosevelt must have just rolled over in his grave.
