As expected, gov says he’ll fight, fight, fight

Gov. Rod Blagojevich did not tell us anything we didn’t already know in his short news conference today. He said he’s done nothing wrong and he’ll fight the allegations until his last breath.

The governor’s defiance did not surprise any of us who have written about him the last six years. He has plenty of ego to think he can do no wrong. Chuck Sweeny predicted a couple of days ago that the governor would say he was framed.

Blagojevich didn’t go quite that far, but he was close.  He blamed his trouble on political enemies and a political lynch mob.

I think I figured out who the 8 percent who think the gov is doing a good job are: His defense team.

We’re going to hear from the governor

Gov. Rod Blagojevich is supposed to make a statement at 2 p.m. this afternoon. The governor said the other day he was “dying” to tell his side of the story. We’ll hear what it is.

How was your commute?

The world doesn’t stand still no matter how much snow falls. My drive to work this morning was slow and mostly uneventful (one spinout). There was a fair amount of traffic and as I look out the window at the State Street Bridge, there are fewer cars than normal, but it’s not deserted.

With all the closings, even the Y is closed, wondering where everyone is going.
