1. and here we go
Diane asks about the selling of the Senate seat. Blago sounds very different this morning. His speech pattern isn't nearly as pressured. Diane now throwing out quotes from the tapes. Pretty damning. Blago responds by saying he can't really comment, but they brought up snippets of conversation. Repeats he can't go into details.

2. He's making the rounds this morning.
He still sounds crazy. What does his political track record have to do with the allegations? "If they can do that to a governor, they can do that to you!" They can impeach me from office? He is confounding political impeachment with criminal indictment and it's making me go batty.

9. No. We're all just too stupid to recognize the brilliance of his plan.
Blago has us right where he wants us.

11. That's all part of his brilliant plan.
And once he's in prison, there will be nothing we can do to stop him.

3. now he's cooking
hmm. Blago's wife is not there. Blago discloses he thought of naming Oprah to the Senate. Diane goes back to the tapes. Blago defends the tapes. Blago says he knows the result in the Senate will be conviction. The fix is in. He's been denied the presumption of innocence.

6. State Senator defending procedure
saying the proceedings are fashioned after the trial of Clinton in the U.S. Senate. Blago contends this is untrue. back insisting that they're getting rid of him because he gave free transportation to seniors, etc.
