Back in the United States, the Illinois Supreme Court has rejected a move from the state Attorney General to have Governor Rod Blagojevich deemed unfit for office. State lawmakers are still considering whether to launch impeachment hearings. Speaking outside his Chicago home, Blagojevich told reporters he’s “dying” to tell his side of the story.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich: “I’m not going to answer any questions. I’m just going to be very brief, and I’m going to say that, you know, I can’t wait to begin to tell my side of the story and to address you guys and, most importantly, the people of Illinois. That’s who I’m dying to talk to. There’s a time and place for everything. That day will soon be here. And you might know more about that today, maybe no later than tomorrow.”
