obama and blagojevich, not exactly bosom buddies

An interesting article about the relationship - rivalry - between Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich in Illinois politics. Really, Blagojevich's grasp on reality seems pretty feeble - even with the whiff of corruption about him and his cool relations with Obama, he expected a speaking role at the Democratic Convention?

Oh and it is absolutely bizarre that he and his Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, haven't spoken in over a year.

Given his feeble grasp on reality, I would not be at all surprised if Blagojevich tries to stick this out, even as his own party considers impeaching him...
