I spent last night at Northwestern's Evanston campus, representing the Huffington Post at an event called Ethics in Politics: an Evening with Former Governor Rod Blagojevich. It was far, far more entertaining than anyone anticipated. The 1000+ people there were mostly students and media, and it was quite a rambunctious crowd. The full article is on the Huffington Post main page: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/03/rod-blagojevich-at-northw_n_483939.html
I will try to post the full audio file too. In this video clip panelist Don Gordon, an adjunct lecturer at Northwestern University, jumped in to make sure Blago knew he wasn't buying everything the former governor was saying. Then, Journalism Professor Donna Leff asks a question from the audience - what advice on ethics would you give new politicians. His answer is "bleeping golden!"
Sorry it's so shaky, I was writing with one hand and filming with the other.
