Blagojevich Round 2: The plot thickens
The investigations swirling around Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) just added another familiar name to the plot: Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D). Jackson held a press conference today denying he was involved in accepting a “pay to play” deal with Blago in order to be appointed to former Sen. Barack Obama’s seat.
Lots of coverage from the hometown papers:
Chicago Tribune
Chicago Sun Times
You can feel the swagger back in the step of these papers as they fight their own financial problems (the Tribune Company filed bankruptcy earlier this week). It’s nice to see.
