| #11 Blago's strategy is undoubtedly one of releasing bits here and there with the hope that all charges will be dropped and he can return to finishing his book. Blago's insurance policy, (the entire piñata) should he end up in a Illinois Tollway cement pour, is probably in a safe deposit box with Patty and a half dozen others on the signature card. Barry is very concerned, as he should be. |

| #5 I have always thought Rod Blagojevich and wife Patty were strangely cavalier with regard to what appeared to be quite serious senate seat appointment difficulties. But of course keeping accurate records of conversations, ie, tapes, photos, etc, is what solicitors do best. "Yes, let's hear all the tapes please, all the tapes." |
