(AP) — The president of the Illinois Senate says Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to make a statement at his impeachment trial.
President John Cullerton told Senators Wednesday that the governor has asked to offer a closing statement at the trial on Thursday. Cullerton says Blagojevich is not asking to testify, which would involve answering questions from senators.
Cullerton recommended that the Senate allow Blagojevich to speak. That view was supported by the Senate's top Republican, Christine Radogno.
Blagojevich has refused to take part in the trial so far. He has said its rules are unfair and he's done nothing wrong.
You are right. I guess I was looking more in the direction of the national administration.
Kelly is almost an acquaintance. He went to grade school with someone I know.
Arresting Kelly convinced John Wyma to wear the wire on Blanko. Both Kelly and Wyma know 100X more on Blank-O than Rezko was able to give. (They were assistance who helped negotiate his deals) If Rezko can’t tattle on Blank-O that leaves Rezko with only BO to tattle on to get his sentence lightened.
Fitz knows what he is doing.
That’s uncalled for!
Should be interesting. Blago is a fighter for sure- it will be interesting to hear his speech and if he will be trying to bring others down with him.
Young enough to have danced to “Billie Jean” in my 20s. But I was never a fan of music videos.
Similar crapola here in MI 24/7 with Conyers-Kilpatrick payola bribery cases.
Oh no, an hour and a half of listening to the Breck Girl’s twin sister, doing poetry?
That BR2 knows where a few bodies are buried.
Lend me an ear!
Maybe Blago has the devastating corruption information related to Obama’s and his Chicago crowd, now in the White House.
And I’m sitting here salivating at the thought of him offering us some DELICIOUS tidbits.
Come on, baby, let it ALL hang out!
LOL!
He just said that Rahm Emanuel suggested that he get those prescription drugs from Canada!

I hope that statement is just an appetizer. I’m HUNGRY!
He’s now thanking Illinois Senate Democrats for helping to advance his agenda.
