As an ex-fact checker (smile) I agree completely.

I think the name of this group sounded “official” to WWD and they figured they would go along.

Blagojevich, Rachel Maddow Interview: “I'm The Anti-Nixon” (UPDATED WITH FULL VIDEO)

[NOTE: Oh! Boy! ***shakin' my head*** And I just read the title!]

***UPDATED WITH FULL VIDEO, SCROLL DOWN***

Embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich defended himself against corruption charges on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight. The interview was wide-ranging and covered a myriad of topics including Roland Burris and Blagojevich's legal strategy. According to a transcript sent out by the Maddow show, Blagojevich vehemently denied that he was in effect selling Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder. During the grilling by Maddow, Blagojevich called himself the “anti-Nixon” because he wants every tape to be played in court as a full airing of the wiretaps will prove his innocence:

I want every tape. Every one of them. Every taped conversation to be heard so the whole story can be heard in the full context. Conversations, ideas, thoughts, potential senators here, potential senators there. How do we get results for people? All those conversations would be, in my judgment, ought to be heard so that everybody hears the right story. I consider myself the anti-Nixon. Remember, during Watergate, Richard Nixon fought every step of the way to keep his tapes from being heard. And then, finally, he ran out of– roadblocks, the Supreme Court ruled he had to release those tapes, and there was one that showed that he had obstructed justice.

This is just the latest stop on Blagojevich's whirlwind media tour. Yesterday Blago visited by “The View” where he refused a request to do an impression of Richard Nixon's famous line, “I'm not a crook!” For complete coverage of all things Blagojevich, visit HuffPost's Rod Blagojevich BigNews Page.
