Governor
Rod Blagojevich and his staff have attempted to muddy the waters on
the question of that now-infamous $1,500 check from his friend by
seizing on the flip-flopping of the friend's wife, Beverly
Ascaridis.
Mrs.
Ascaridis, you will recall, got a state job about the same time that
her husband, Mike Ascaridis, wrote the governor a check for $1,500.
The governor has admitted to directing his chief of staff to find
Mrs. Ascaridis a job, but claims that the check was for his daughter
Amy's college fund. He has so far refused to provide any supporting
documentation that the check was ever deposited into a college fund,
however.
