Wow. Here are the opening two paragraphs of a big piece of breaking news:
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested
Tuesday on federal charges that accuse him of trying to benefit from
his ability to appoint President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in
the U.S. Senate.
A 76-page FBI affidavit says the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.
