Blago impeachment trial update

I'm watching Rep. Chapin Rose (R-Charleston), a member of the House impeachment committee, testify about how a crony of Tony Rezko, Ali Ata, turned a $25,000 Rod Blagojevich campaign contribution into a state job. While the Rezko trial was underway, Ati pleaded guilty to a tax charge and to lying to an FBI agent.

For the first time portions, very short ones I'd like to add, of those legendary Blago tapes were played. Click here to listen, and don't worry, the recordings are safe for work.

Meanwhile, the governor's media tour continues.
