From the Washington Post:
When Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor, steps into a federal courtroom on Thursday, his madcap appearances on “Celebrity Apprentice” and the Second City comedy stage will be history. He will be playing to an audience of 13 — a dozen jurors and one no-nonsense judge — in the most pivotal performance of his life.
Blagojevich, who likes to say that he has never lost an election, will face three supremely experienced prosecutors, the same ones who put his friend Antoin Rezko, a notorious Chicago fundraiser, behind bars. They will be marshaling dozens of secretly taped conversations and the testimony of some of Blagojevich’s closest allies, now witnesses for the prosecution.
