So Rod Blagojevich found his man, and it's Roland Burris.

Burris, a former Illinois Comptroller and State Attorney General, will be named to fill Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat later today.

While this is clearly a big day for Burris, the question now is what's in it for Blagojevich? Clearly, a bribe was offered, but it may be weeks before Patrick Fitzgerald reveals it in a [bleep]-filled press conference.

Tell us what Burris offered that, say, Mike Ditka could not.
