Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday offered his first public comments since being named as Public Official A in court filings that are part of his top campaign fundraiser’s upcoming federal corruption trial.
“It doesn’t matter what letter of the alphabet it is. What was described there doesn’t describe me or how I do things,” said Blagojevich during a DeKalb news conference to announce a plan to tear down the building where five Northern Illinois University students were killed on Valentine’s Day.
As a reporter tried to follow up, about 500 NIU students started booing and hissing at line of inquiry.
Blagojevich, however, offered a response.
“I am not involved in that court case. I don’t know much about it. I have a job to do as governor. It’s a full-time job. And I don’t think it’s fair for me to comment on a pending court case,” he said.
I have to say that’s even impressive for him.
Wow! I hadn’t seen that quote yet. This gets sadder by the day.
