Rob Blagojevich on Letterman
This is fairly old news, but last week former Illinois Governor, (the guy who allegedly tried to extort money from Balmoral and Maywood Park owner John Johnston) went round the American talk shows pleading his innocence.
Here he is on Letterman talking about audio tapes which show him conspiring to extract money from “Johnny Johnston” You can listen to the tapes on over on Harnesslink.
(Interesting side note: In that article we used a picture of John Johnston I found from an old media release, on an old PDF, from the old Maywood Park website which they neglected to take down. Since we are probably the only people with that image, the Wall Street Journal emailed us and asked if they could use it. I said sure as long as you credit it to Harnesslink.com - so we might have been in the Wall Street Journal, not that we’d know being in New Zealand and all.)
Hey at least harness racing’s in the news!
