Too bad it’s not real life. Back in Illinois, the children’s charity that she had chosen as one beneficiary of her appearance on the show said thanks, but no thanks. Why? The charity has an alliance with a hospital that prosecutors accused Blagojevich of shaking down for a campaign donation.
Kim Banks, a social worker from West Side of Chicago, said that she had not known much about the former Governor’s wife until now and that she was watching the show. “I feel sorry for her,” she said. “But I also don’t blame her. She’s got kids to feed. I understand that.”
