Tuesday recap
In testimony Tuesday, union leader Tom Balanoff said Rod Blagojevich tried shaking him down for a job at a foundation in exchange for appointing Valerie Jarrett to the Senate, called Alexi Giannoulias a "mother f-----," and wasn't up on appointing U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky: "If she had any ancestors who came over on slave ships she'd be fine." In a recording, he says of veteran Chicago reporter Carol Marin: "I hate her...I hate her."
Jurors also heard for the first time the infamous "f------ golden," recording, where Blagojevich says of the Senate seat appointment: "I've got this thing and it's f------ golden and I'm not giving it up for f------ nothing."
Other than that, just the usual at the Blagojevich trial.

Carol Marin, on NBC as a political reporter and one of the co-anchors on Chicago Tonight. Chicago Tonight is the most respected, professional news program in this Town. Very impartial, always gives both, or more sides to the story, equally. Well respected program by all Politicians, newspeople and many other professionals.
Carol Marin quit the 10PM evening news after many, many years when they brought on Jerry Springer to do commentaries (as some type of ratings boost) her ethics would not let her continue with that clown doing commentaries.
Carol Marin is one of the hardest working professional political reporters in this City, if not State. Only on Chicago Tonight would they allow the cream of the crop to be anchors, or reporters.
