Blago Watch!

In the Blago Watch Section, it is being reported that the defense is working hard to show that Blagojevich is a man who always had the best interest in mind for the state of Illinois, even though he is someone who is known for being a hothead.

The former chief of staff for Blagojevich, John Harris is now being cross-examined by the defense. He has made it clear that Blagojevich was definitely out to use his power in order to obtain a position with the Obama administration.

"You were just talking ... throwing out ideas, speaking out loud, right?" Adam asked Harris about his discussions with Blagojevich about a private foundation job for Blagojevich. The judge sustained a prosecutor's objection before Harris could answer.

Sam Adam Sr. is the defense attorney for Blagojevich.

It was also brought to light, by the FBI tapes, that Blagojevich was considering appointing Oprah Winfrey for the Senate seat.

Oprah Winfrey? This trial is becoming more and more interesting. I'll keep you posted.
