'Obama seat sale' governor scorns impeachment calls
Defiant Rod Blagojevich, accused of trying to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, said today that if what he had done as Illinois governor was an impeachable offence, he was living on the “wrong planet” and 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 was what he had been doing.
