"The governor, accused of seeking cash for the political appointment
of Obama's Senate replacement, is not a close associate of the
President-elect. Indeed, in the affidavit, Blagojevich called Obama a
"motherfucker" for wanting him to appoint an official that the
governor either did not like or wouldn't receive money from. Local
news reports, meanwhile, suggest that it was Obama chief-of-staff Rahm
Emanuel who blew the whistle on the governor."
