the prosecution would come back and put on all of these rebuttal witnesses i talked about. so, they stopped the prosecution dead in their tracks and for blagojevich to gets on the stand and talk and open the door to a ton of cross-examination is not a good idea and while the prosecution put their case in chief on, i actually said, i still didn't think it was a good idea for him to testify. so i'm glad he didn't. patti ann: tamara holder, thanks for joining us live from chicago and we'll let our viewers know what happens at the hearing. bill: oh, my. that will be breaking news, right, patti ann? and charlie rangel, ethics questions notwithstanding, still knows how to throw a birthday party, big crowd including dionne warwick showing support to the veteran new york congressman from last night. >> ♪ ♪ you can always count on me ♪ for sure
