Hey Blago! You're Fired!
CHICAGO (AP) -- Rod Blagojevich has tried to explain why he has such difficulty using cell phones and computers.

The former governor was kicked off NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" over the weekend after several episodes showed him struggling to type on a computer and to text from a cell phone.

Blagojevich says his generation simply didn't grow up with what he calls "all that stuff."

He spoke on WLS-AM's "Don Wade and Roma Morning Show" Monday. "Apprentice" boss Donald Trump fired him in an episode that aired Sunday.

The ex-governor adds he's never been fired by somebody he likes as much as he likes Trump.

Blagojevich faces a federal indictment alleging political corruption while in office. He's denied any wrongdoing.
