AP Exclusive: Blago’s politics all in day’s work

The AP reports on Blago:
Rod Blagojevich had misplaced a $10,000 campaign contribution. Luckily, his wife found the check at home and told the governor’s secretary, who promised to take care of it.

Soon the money was deposited safely, just after the donor’s daughter began a new job at the state Department of Corrections.
You'll want to read this one. There's more:
“Andy” was assigned other errands — to pick up a book for Chicago Alderman Edward Burke and to deliver whisky to Blagojevich’s legal counsel Susan Lichtenstein’s house for a December 2003 Christmas party.
