Illinois' hair-brained former governor, Rod Blagojevich, will be arraigned in a federal court tomorrow in downtown Chicago.
He was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on multiple corruption charges.
Since Blago is expected to plead not guilty, the real drama will revolve around two issues: Who will represent the North Side Democrat in court, and how many national media outlets will be there.
Saturday Night Live is running "The Best of Amy Poehler" this weekend, so an SNL parody of Tuesday's proceedings seems unlikely.

He doesn't seem to mind negative attention and he certainly can't fathom being guilty. He might even be dumb enough to represent himself. The lawyers he did have didn't represent him and his interests very well. Not that it would've mattered.
