Blago allows NY Times crew to follow him on his last day

Incredibly, although I don’t know why it surprises me, Rod Blagojevich allowed a New York Times crew to be with him during his last day as governor. He left office still blaming his troubles on everyone else and justifying everything he did. He even said he wasn’t greedy enough! This is from the Times piece:

“We should have been more selfish, not selfless,” he said. “It sounds probably perverse for me to say that based on what some people are saying about me. But it’s true. My family, we didn’t take advantage of all these things that people do. My successor has done a whole bunch as the lieutenant governor — taken all kinds of trips all over the world and trade missions — like he’s got anything to do with anything as lieutenant governor.”
