In his media appearances, Blagojevich has likened his struggle to that of historical figures dating back to World War II.

After comparing his arrest last week to the Pearl Harbor attacks, Blagojevich told Colmes that his efforts as governor to win on legislative priorities were not unlike former President Franklin Roosevelt's.

"Now that's using the powers of the executive branch to help people who need help, not unlike what Franklin Roosevelt did when he was president, and he helped Great Britain because Congress was not willing to allow the United States to shore up Britain in its fight against the Nazis," he said.
