Blagojevich, a Northwestern alum, who married his wife, Patti, on the campus 20 years ago, revealed the feds have subpoenaed his grades and student information from when he attended 30 years ago.
He invited the FBI to also look at his law school performance at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu, Calif.
“If they look at those grades they’ll see — I obviously never cheated on an exam,” Blagojevich said to much laughter.
Blagojevich spoke to a skeptical student body, who didn’t cut him much slack. They laughed when he plugged his book and drew parallels between his case and the war in Iraq.
Blagojevich won chuckles when he said there was “nothing ethically wrong,” with wanting to meet Sarah Palin.
He was booed when he likened U.S. Senate leaders to southern segregationists for initially not allowing his pick for senator — Roland Burris — into the U.S. Capitol last year.
“Shame,” someone from the crowd shouted.
“You don’t like Burris?” Blagojevich asked.
“No — you,” he responded.
“My friend, I have love in my heart for you,” the ex-governor said.
Like soughern segregationists? Really?
More likely, the story about the student records subpeona is bogus. Not that it matters, but he lies about silly stuff like that for sport.
