Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Friday that he was not guilty, that he is not stepping down as governor and that he will "fight until I take my last breath."



You have to wonder what his DU name is.:D

Well the sooner he stops breathing the better...

Given Chicago's history, that promise is rather tempting fate.

Delusional, grandiose ... experts offer their explanations Blagojevich's behavior

Delusional, grandiose and narcissistic are some of the official terms offered up by mental health specialists, who have their own theories.

"When hubris creeps through the door, judgment just flies out the window," said David Levy, a psychology professor at Pepperdine University's graduate school.

Assessing the embattled governor's state of mind has become a sort of parlor game as the enormity of the stunning allegations against him sinks in. Everyone seems to be wondering, was it lunacy, or just an extreme form of politics-as-usual?

"Blagojevich's defense lawyers might want to consider an insanity defense," wrote Mark Brown, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist. "He's utterly mad. Completely and totally off his rocker."

New York City therapist Jonathan Alpert said he was struck by "the grandiosity, the grand sense of self and entitlement," the arrogance.

Those traits are consistent with a mental condition called narcissistic personality disorder, he said. Its other symptoms can include taking advantage of others for personal gain and lack of empathy.
