Blagojevich Says He's 'On Wrong Planet' if Impeached

The governor told a local reporter that he was hired to fight for the 
people of Illinois and that's what he's been doing.

Friday, December 26, 2008 

CHICAGO -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Friday that if what he's 
done as Illinois governor is an impeachable offense, he's living on the 
"wrong planet" and is in the "wrong place."

Speaking to a WLS-TV reporter outside a Chicago law office, the governor 
said he was hired to fight for the people of Illinois and that's what 
he's been doing.

The interview marked the first time Blagojevich has spoken to the media 
since giving a defiant three-minute speech last Friday in which he said 
he'll fight the forces against him until he takes his last breath.

The 52-year-old Democrat is charged with scheming to sell President-
elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. Federal 
prosecutors built their case against the governor using wiretapped 
conversations riddled with profanity.

"Look, if I'd have known people were listening, I probably wouldn't have 
said some of the things you say in private conversations," Blagojevich 
said Friday. "But I think there's probably tens of millions of people 
across America that talk like that from time to time."

Blagojevich has ignored ongoing calls to step down. He spoke Friday as 
the committee of legislators investigating whether he should be 
impeached prepared to reconvene in the state capital of Springfield on 
Monday. The group's chair, state Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, said members 
were "still doing due diligence.

"The governor's attorney, Ed Genson, said he will provide the committee 
with a list of 25 of Blagojevich's accomplishments that will render the 
idea of impeachment ridiculous, according to WLS-TV. Blagojevich said 
the wiretap recordings show him working for the people of the state.

"Even in this process, without saying too much, that was all about 
trying to end up with the right decision that could do the most things 
for the people of Illinois, and when the full truth is told, you will 
see precisely that," Blagojevich said.

"If somehow that's impeachable, then I'm on the wrong planet and I'm 
living in the wrong place," he said.

Currie's committee has yet to rule on a request from Genson to subpoena 
incoming Obama chief of staff Rep. Rahm Emanuel, senior adviser Valerie 
Jarrett and more than a dozen others, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. 
Genson has said their testimony would also prove Blagojevich's 
innocence.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said earlier this week that lawmakers' 
interviews of current or former members of Blagojevich's staff might 
jeopardize his criminal investigation.
