Gov. Blagojevich just concluded his hour-long statement before the Senate impeachment trial. We'll have some video soon. In the meantime, the clip below includes the last few minutes of House impeachment prosecutor David Ellis' closing argument. He'll be issuing a rebuttal to Blagojevich at 1 p.m.
UPDATE: Here are the final minutes of the governor's closing statement. He caught our attention at one point with this line: "I want to apologize for what happened." However, he quickly added: "But I can't, because I've done nothing wrong." Watch it:
You gotta love this argument, repeated endlessly during his media blitz: "If it can happen to a governor, it can happen to any citizen." That's right: we too could all be impeached and removed from office one day.
