Blagojevich loses bid for TV show role

MSNBC reports:

Indicted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has lost his bid to travel outside the country to appear on reality TV.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel on Tuesday refused to modify the terms of Blagojevich's bail — so the ousted Democrat governor won't be able to go to Costa Rica to appear on a planned reality show.

The judge said Blagojevich needs to remain in the United States to help his attorneys formulate a strategy for his defense.
