Blago Appears In Court

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.
