CHICAGO -- Illinois' embattled but defiant governor, so fond of reciting poetry as he defends himself against federal corruption allegations, has turned instead to the history books to describe the emotional strain his arrest put on him and his family.
In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan's 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
He says it was a "complete surprise" but he'll prevail, just like America in World War II.
Blagojevich says there's no chance he'll resign before the start of the state Senate's impeachment trial next week. He says he'll fight the allegations against him "to the very end.
"The two-term Democrat is accused of scheming to swap President Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for personal gain.
