I know why former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is continuing to speak out and insist to anyone who will listen that he’s a victim rather than a perpetrator of sleazy politics in Illinois:

There’s almost no downside for him. As long as he stays on message – and he’s been very disciplined about that – there’s a chance he’ll make a favorable impression on a potential employer or member of the federal jury that will hear his case if he is formally indicted on corruption charges. Maybe a prominent attorney will see his side and volunteer to represent him for free.

But I don’t know why national TV programs are still interested in hearing him speak out.
