Governor Appoints An Expert

.
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is under fire.

They have this state commission against hate crimes and discrimination. So, The Guv appoints Claudette Marie Johnson last year to the commission.

Her day job? She is Minister of Protocol for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Johnson is also known as Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad at Nation of Islam headquarters.

The Jewish Anti-Defamation League in Chicago is upset. Last year, according to the text of Farrakhan's Saviour's Day speech posted on the ADL Web site, the Nation of Islam leader said, "Jewish people don't have no hands that are free of the blood of us. They owned slave ships, they bought and sold us. They raped and robbed us."

Actually, this is all a ploy by The Guv, I think. He wants to show that he is ready to be Chertoff's replacement at Homeland Security if someone concludes that Chertoff is really a wack job. The Guv is well along in his Wack Job Correspondence Course.

    The Guv is well on his way7. Dateline: yesterday

    ST. LOUIS (Feb. 24) - Gov. Rod Blagojevich wasn't in on the joke. Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled Democratic governor.

    "It was going to be an interview on contraceptives ... that's all I knew about it," Blagojevich laughingly told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story for Thursday's editions. "I had no idea I was going to be asked if I was 'the gay governor.'"

    The interview focused on his executive order requiring pharmacies to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control.
