No the Trib was bought by Sam Zell not too long ago. Blago wanted the company to appoint board members that would fire editorial writers who have published negative articles about him.

lol the Gov has some large balls to say the least.

I swear I read something on the fox news ticker yesterday about some big guy with the Tribune filing bankruptcy but that it wouldnt include Wrigley or some field he owns.... didnt know if the two stories were connected.

Chicago is pretty bad ass.

Trib's bankruptcy does not affect the Cubs or Wrigley Field, they weren't included in the filing

The Tribune Corporation filed for Bankruptcy..one of their holdings is the Tribune newspaper who also owns and is trying to sell the Cubs. They have been very critical of Blago in their editorials and Blago wanted a certain few fired in excahange for favorable tax rulings and benefits for the Cubs.

And Steve was correct about the SAm Zell part as well.

This day has been coming for a long time as Fitzgerald worked his way through the ranks to get to Blago. I just assumed it would be the more generic influence peddling stuff that they caught the others with. The Senate seat is so brazen and insulting ( and stupid) that the impact of that will be incredible. If he doesn't plead, that will be a hell of a trial

The Gov's wife has some big balls too...

During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife can be heard in the
background telling ROD BLAGOJEVICH to tell Deputy Governor A “to hold up that ****ing Cubs ****. . . **** them.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked Deputy Governor A what he thinks of his wife’s idea.

Most amazing thing is that Blago will post bond and still be Governor and WILL be able to make that Senate seat appointment
