Illinois
Blagojevich Trial

* As the Rod Blagojevich jurors deliberate, let’s take a peek at Jim Warren’s column about former Mayor Daley…

And since I was rushing back to the trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, I asked about him. Mr. Daley is wary of kicking a guy while down, so I got the response I did when he was mayor.

“Cuckoo.”

* The Question: What one word would you use to sum up Rod Blagojevich’s tenure as governor?
