Getting on Rod Blagojevich’s good side during the campaign: $85,000.

Helping to fund Blagojevich’s inaugural gala: $100,000.

Getting the General Assembly to pass and G-Rod to sign in a lightning quick four days a law to double your competitors’ rates: priceless.

Way to go, SBC!

Of course, it’s only a coincidence that SBC’s president is Bill Daley, Da Mare’s big bruddah.
