CHICAGO -- Governor Rod Blagojevich says it's "stupid" to ask if he's concerned that he could be the next target of a political corruption investigation by federal authorities.

 

Blagojevich says he won't answer "stupid questions like that."

 

Blagojevich was asked the question at a Monday press conference as a federal jury continued its deliberations on the fate of one of his former political fundraisers.

 

Antoin "Tony" Rezko is accused of scheming to get kickbacks from companies wanting state contracts.

 

Blagojevich has not been charged with any wrongdoing and he has repeatedly denied any involvement in the case.

 

But Blagojevich's name was a centerpiece of the trial that went to the jury last week.
