Blagojevich says in book Emanuel wanted 'placeholder' appointed to get congressional seat back

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says in a new book that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel wanted his help in arranging to leave the Obama administration after two years to reclaim his seat in Congress.
When Obama says his staff really had nothing much to do with Blago: you've got to laugh. Obama is every bit part of the Machine as is Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Mayor Daley, Valerie Jarrett , Alderman Burke, and the late Alderman Roti.
