It’s finally Showtime.
Ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich took the stand in his own defense on Thursday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“I used to be governor and I’m here to tell the truth,” Blagojevich said after being sworn in, the paper reported.
“In many ways, I feel very liberated — I’m ready to answer questions,” he said.
Blagojevich also took a moment to apologize for the a he spewed while being recorded by the FBI, and he said his teenage daughter told him to watch his language on the stand, the Sun-Times reported.

The Sun-Times wrote that Blagojevich “went through his own personal history — and it bordered on the absurd at times.”
