According to the impeached Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, we all got it wrong and those infamous voice recordings of him trying to sell Obama's Senate Seat to the highest bidder, well, those were taken out of context.

Last week, the Illinois Senate convicted Blagojevich of abuse of power. Now, not only is Blagojevich out of a job, but he faces criminal charges that could land him some serious jail time. Rather than going into hiding, Blagojevich has been on an all-out media blitz, prompting rumors that he's sniffing around for a book deal or well, anything he can gain from the whole mess. Since the scandal, the former governor has made appearances on Larry King Live, The View, The Rachel Maddow Show and the Today show.

"Why exactly are you here? Honest to God," asked David Letterman as Blagojevich took his seat.

"Well, you know, I've been wanting to be on your show in the worst way for the longest-"

"Well, you're on in the worst way, believe me," Letterman interrupted.

Letterman also asked Blagojevich what he planned to do with his time leading up to the trial.

"Well, I'm looking for work," Blagojevich said. "Are you hiring?"

Blagojevich also told the talk show host that he is waiting for the day when people wake up and realize this has all been a big misunderstanding.

"I did nothing wrong," he said. "And I'll have an opportunity to be able to go in a court to prove that I did nothing wrong."
