(FUTURECAM EXCLUSIVE) Seeing that the governor had escaped the bailiffs following pronouncement of the guilty verdicts, valiant Attorney General Madigan tackled and wrestled Blagojevich to the ground after he attempted to flee by jogging away.

Last year at Halloween, in an attempt to frighten her husband Rod, Patti Blagojovich dressed up like Lisa Madigan. She forgot that Rod thinks everyone is his friend. So, instead of the intended girlie shriek she wanted, Patti ended up with f*****g gratitude instead.
