[September 09, 2009]  CHICAGO (AP) -- Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says his words on FBI wiretap tapes have been taken out of context and will vindicate him when played in their entirety, but he still worries about the possibility of going to prison.

HardwareIn a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Blagojevich said he starts thinking about such things "in the wee hours, in the witching hour." He added: "I'm only human."

Blagojevich was in New York to promote his new book, "The Governor," which hit shelves Tuesday. He started the day with an appearance on NBC's "Today" show, followed by more interviews.

Prosecutors say Blagojevich tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.
