What Did He Say?
In the same week he uttered the words "testicular virility" while talking about a feud with his father-in-law, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has now come up with another gem.
Well, it's a gem if you're a media person who likes goofy and somewhat embarrassing sound bites.
The governor made this comment while comparing President Bush to the Amir of Qatar...who visited Springfield, IL, on Tuesday...and was in Chicago for a big shin-dig on Wednesday:
"They do have something in common...they both come from big oil states. (laughter) President Bush has only one wife. (laughter) Probably shouldn't have said that."
Gee, Guv...ya think?
Best I can tell - at least through some initial internet searches - is that the Amir of Qatar also has only one wife.
By the way, Blagojevich made the comment...at a prayer breakfast!
** If I can come up with a way to find an audio link so you can hear the sound bite, I'll do it. **
