Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Jim Geraghty returns to talk about the latest in politics — and this week, that can only mean the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and the shock waves it has sent from Chicago to Washington, DC. We’ll have video of the highlights, a review of all the aspects of the scandal, plus more talk about Obama’s latest Cabinet picks and the status of the bailouts. Don’t miss a minute!

Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) Jazz Shaw of The Moderate Voice moderates the chat, and he has his Troll Gun Trivia Contest running before the show, for those who get there early — and are registered!
