Blagojevich accused of threatening paper

Oh, I see now.

Federal authorities who arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich are claiming that he and his chief of staff threatened the Chicago Tribune because the governor didn't like its editorials. (Articles about this story include alleged phone conversations in which the governor says "fuck" and "shit.")

In the immortal words of Cookie Monster: Me got it now.

Hey, is this like the time back in the '90s when some conservative legislators in Kentucky wanted to pass a law to require newspapers to publish the names of their editorialists, all because the legislators disagreed with their editorials?

When are those lawmakers going to be arrested?
