Blagojevich, Two Days Later: If We Couldn't Laugh, We'd Cry
Oh, Governor Blagojevich. You've always been an endless source of amusement. Among other things, we've laughed over how Blago looks like both a South Park character and a Lego man. Then, there's Salon's hilarious Glengarry Rod Blagojevich [via] and Steve Rhodes had us laughing with his scale of who is drinking the most Blago Haterade.

Did Rahm Tip-Off Feds on Blago?
Amazing speculation this morning on Fox News that Rahm Emanuel may have been involved in going to the Feds about Blago's attempt to buy Obama's U.S. Senate seat.

WGN-TV reports that Blagojevich appeared in federal court this afternoon in black sweatpants and a blue and black jogging jacket and sneakers. Bond was set at $4,500, Blago must surrender his passport, he's only allowed to travel within the United States, and the next hearing is set for January 14th. The amount of bond seems pretty small but we're guessing his political standing has something to do with that. Blago's attorney in the matter is Sheldon Sorosky.

Quoting the Blagojevich Complaint
Several of us here at the Chicagoist office have been combing through the complaint against Blago and Harris and all we can say is, "holy shit." This thing is...amazing. We wish we could curl up on the sofa in front of the fire and under a blanket and live with this thing like it was a Danielle Steel novel. It's just. That. Good. Below we've collected several of our favorite quotes from the complaint, but don't let this stop you from reading the entire 70+ page document. This barely scratches the surface.
