Churchill on Fitness and Leadership

On Winston Churchill and Former Gov. Blagojevich, Contentions, August 27, 2010. "On Fox News Sunday, a slightly incredulous Chris Wallace asked former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich if he was serious when he compared himself to Winston Churchill in his ability to come back from political oblivion. Blagojevich replied “You’re right, I’m not serious. I don’t smoke cigars or scotch, and I think I can run faster than him.” As Sir Winston died in 1965, it would be most surprising if the Governor was not fleeter of foot. But Churchill would have smiled at Blagojevich’s observations on smoking, drinking, and running."
