First of Blago's buddies enters prison

Thanks to Marathon Pundit, we know that Robert Creamer, former field director for Rod Blagojevich's 2002 campaign for governor, has entered federal prison in Indiana for his check kiting scheme.

Creamer also was standing next to Rod in 2001 when he blasted the Republican governor and attorney general for not doing enough to keep gas prices down. At the time, gas was less than $2 a gallon.

Of course today Blagojevich absolves the governor and attorney general of blame for gas prices that top $3 a gallon. He blames the president.
