How do you become the Gov. of one of the largest states in the union....

.... and when standing before an entire nation, millions hanging off of your every word .... the most profound thing you can come up with is to quote Kipling's "IF" as if you were giving the valedictory speech at your High School graduation?

Seriously? Did he read that off of a Hallmark card?

I think we should demand that candidates for any political office turn over their Amazon account records so we can verify there's been actual books purchased within their lifetimes.

Or, heck, I'll even take a well-worn library card!

IF!!!!??? SERIOUSLY!!!! That was the BEST he could do? "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss must have gotten axed as being too intellectual.

1. LOL! I'll bet his hairdresser handed him that, proclaiming it the most profound thing she had ever
read. Blago had never seen it. "Works for me!"

2. Watching his press conference
was rather disturbing! I don't think he did himself any favors.
