A local Chicago TV report suggests that the busting of Blagojevich came together so fast because the governor reached out to none other than Rahm Emanuel about working some angles on the Senate seat, and Emanuel blew the whistle on him.
Update: Sen. Dick Durbin is suggesting the Illinois legislature set up a special election to pick Obama's successor instead of leaving it in the hands of Blagojevich, who has just been released on $4,500 bond.
