No Go for Blago

by Jessica Goerke

Former Governor Rod Blagojevich faces 25 to 30 years in prison for trying to sell the Illinois Senate seat but that is not stopping him from trying to pilfer even more money. This time he has been offered $123,000 to appear on the new reality t.v. show titled "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here." In his defense he states, "I have to do it for my kids. I have to support my family."

Unfortunately for him, though, Judge James Zagel isn't buying it. He denied Rod's request to join the show in Costa Rica. Judge Zagel has reservations against Blagojevich's attitude about the whole situation. He stated, "I do not have confidence that things will not go astray if I modify bond conditions."
