Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was convicted earlier this year on 18 corruption counts, including trying to auction off President Barack Obama's old U.S. Senate seat. He will now be sentenced. The defense argue that he deserves a lighter sentence because he has already suffered. "In describing the humiliation his family has faced, the defense cited Blagojevich's appearances on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," where he struggled to use a cell phone, and his wife, Patti, eating a tarantula on the reality show, "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!""(http://www.mercurynews.com/nation-world/ci_19478842)
