Blagojevich Arrested

Illinois' governor, Rod Blagojevich, has been arrested on corruption charges.  Apparently, it's connected to filling the Senate seat that President-elect Barack Obama is vacating.  Probably not the kind of story Obama wants to have floating around...

3 year investigation for white-collar crime culminating in arrest, not surrender, is unusual, Jeffrey Toobin points out.  Either the charges are that big, or there's the off-chance that this is a trumped-up, politically motivated investigation.  I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but we've seen it happen before with a state governor.
