Blago says he's on "wrong planet" if he's done wrong

Look who came out of hiding yesterday? Our absentee governor Rod Blagojevich. ABC 7 Chicago's Andy Shaw caught up with the governor when he visited the South Side office of one of his attorneys.

Like a lot of Chicagoans, Blago struggled with the effects of yesterday's ice storm--he nearly slipped while walking on a slick sidewalk.

Of course many Illinoisans believe that Blagojevich has been slipping up since 2003.

Had he fallen, some sense might have been knocked into place. But he's the same old Blago:

"I think the accomplishments for people speak for themselves. If that's impeachable then I'm on the wrong planet and living in the wrong place," the governor said. "I know what the truth is -- and the truth is, I've done absolutely nothing wrong, and I've done a lot of things right -- 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. When the full truth is told, you will see precisely that."

Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn said Thursday that Blagojevich is going to be impeached, convicted and thrown out of office, so he should resign or step aside now.

"I think it made it abundantly clear that I have no intention whatsoever of leaving a job the people of Illinois elected me to perform because of false accusations and a political lynch mob," the governor said.
