"The Innocent aka Blago" and "Patty Melt."

On the menu yesterday at the courthouse cafeteria. Not a good day for the Blago team. The judge loses patience with Blago's lawyer. Tribune. Sun Times.

And some insight into the Blago/Rezko enterprise:

It was unclear by Ata's testimony whether the FBI actually had tapped Rezko's phones at that time.

Then, in November 2005, Ata was approached by the FBI. Almost immediately thereafter, Michael Rumman, a Rezko associate and former director of the state's Central Management Services Department, left him a voicemail and, in cryptic terms, encouraged Ata not to cooperate with the federal government.

The sandwich was turkey.
