Blago! WESH gets video of gov at Disney

Roger Simmons, April 3, 2009

Rod BlagojevichScore one for WESH. Reports on Thursday had former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich spotted spending time at Walt Disney World — hours before an expected indictment over allegedly trying to sell Pres. Barack Obama’s senate seat.

All the local media outlets were looking for Blago — and asking readers/viewers to help find the gov. Well, WESH’s dynamo Michelle Meredith found the governor — apparently just minutes before he was indicted back in Illinois. Watch the video and see a very upset Mrs. Blagojevich and someone who decides to act as body guard and chase reporter Meredith away. Click here to watch the WESH video.
