In the call, Blagojevich's chief of staff, John Harris, tells his boss that Rahm Emanuel, Obama's soon-to-be top aide, had called him to give him a list of four people that Obama would find acceptable as his successor in the Senate. They were Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.; injured Iraq War vet Tammy Duckworth; U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Illinois State Comptroller Dan Hynes.
Blagojevich considered the list to be a fraud, calling it a, "...B.S. list."

In another story, it is being reported that the tapes clearly show Blagojevich was trying to make a deal with the Obama administration. He was trying to get a position with the administration. The tapes reveal that Patti Blagojevich, the ex-governor's wife, indicated that ambassador to India was the best position.
Wow. That Patti is quite the liar. I remember watching her on that reality show, "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" A show filled with mostly half-witted, B and C celebrities, with the exception of a few, who were asked to spend their time surviving in a jungle. The winner would receive a high donation in their name to a charity of their choice.
I specifically remember Patti proclaiming her husband's innocence and, describing him as a man of integrity. Pfft! Turns out, she knew first hand what he was doing. How could she possible think that was legal or, ethical?
