No, former Governor of Illinois Milorad Rod R. Blagojevich is not a Jew.This guy does have a lot of chutzpah!
He is a Serbian American and a member of the Serbian Orthodox church.
In 2003 Blagojevich was the first Democrat to be elected governor of Illinois in 30 years.
Rod was arrested by federal law enforcement agents and charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud as well as solicitation of bribery.
Ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich was found guilty June 27, 2011 of 17 of the 20 counts he faced in his corruption retrial.
In a poll completed on October 13, 2008 Blagojevich's approval rating among Illinois voters was 4%.
He was removed from office by unanimous vote on January 29, 2009.
[updated]
Higher than the last Israeli Prime minister's rating!
ReplyDeleteIt's conceivable that, there could be a Jewish politician as corrupt as this Blogojevich fellow. It is not possible that you could find one as stupid. The mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteBlagojevich is actually an Eastern Rite Roman Catholic which is often confused with Eastern Orthodoxy. Eastern Rite Roman Catholics are referred to as Uniates by the Eastern Orthodox. Serbian Orthodox churches are indeed part of the Orthodox faith. Blagojevich is not, however (contrary to media sources), Serbian Orthodox. Google "Union of Brest" for more background on Uniates.
ReplyDeleteHis religion has nothing to do with this.The US Serbian community is filled with outstanding people.We are living in a time were people have been raised to value material items over spiritual values. It is a sickness that has infected the world,Jew christian etc.. As a jew I tell you that I can't stand my so called leaders, except for a few. I'm sure christians feel the same. All this ugliness in this world was created by those that laugh at g-d and religion, or that seem to think murder and immorality is a matter of relativity.At the same time these same folks indoctrinate our youth into thinking that religion is the cause of all evil. The Talmud states that in the end of days, arrogance will wax strong, and disrespect with be rampant, places of higher learning will be like houses of prostitution, how true. In the end we can only hope in the creator, and his wisdom. Perhaps this is a way of laying the evil people low?

ReplyDeleteLet's not blame the Catholics for this one. According to the National Governors Association Blago is Eastern Orthodox.

Is Blago's father-in-law Jewish? I remember reading somewhere were Dick Mell's brother? Joe Mell was an actor. The other night i was watching an old Untouchables TV show from 1959 & the end credits had Joe Mell, who was doing a small part. Joe Mell looked very Jewish to me. Maybe this all BS.
