Blago: I’m Blacker Than Barack Obama

First Harry Reid says that President Obama is a “light-skinned negro” (here) and now former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has announced that he’s “blacker than Barack Obama.”

Here is the case Blago made for his entry in the NAACP Hall of Fame:

“What the f***? Everything he’s saying’s on the teleprompter. I’m blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived. I saw it all growing up,”

Just a “five-room apartment”? My God, he was a virtually a street urchin.

Does Blago’s boast seem strangely familiar?
