'Grateful' Blago says judge saved him from eating bugs

Associated Press

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he was willing to eat bugs for his children, but a federal judge saved him from that.

The judge this week refused to allow Blagojevich to travel to Costa Rica, where the Democrat had hoped to appear on the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" That show is known for putting contestants through outrageous competitions, such as bug eating.

</p> <p class="article__body">During an interview on the "Today" show Thursday, Blagojevich said he's heading to Los Angeles where he might play some role in the program. He says he isn't giving up on pursuing other opportunities because he needs a job to pay his mortgage and support his daughters.</p> <p class="article__body">Blagojevich has pleaded not guilty to racketeering, fraud and other charges that allege -- among other things -- that he schemed to sell President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.</p> </div> </div> </div> <table width="100%"
