Keith Olbermann reported on Countdown tonite that Rod Blagojevich has requested time to address the Illinois State Senate on Thursday for a duration of "an hour to an hour and a half," during and after which he will take no questions.
He hasn't answered the charges in person (nor did Bill Clinton in his own hour of trial) or by representation of counsel (his attorney quit on him), opting instead to spend the first part of the week on an East Coast media blitz.
I didn't bother to watch any of it and am pleased to know that this saga appears set to end. After Blago gets done babbling, the guy prosecuting the impeachment case will sum up and put the matter in the hands of the senators for an up or down vote on conviction; Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn will stand ready to take the oath upon the governor's expected ouster.
Follow it all @ CNN. I gotta get my laundry done tomorrow and hope to have it finished by 9 AM, at which time the day's action should get going.
