Here's another link between impeached Illinois Gov. and future reality show star Rod Blagojevich and our Gov. Bill Richardson -- besides that old $20,000 campaign contribution Bill gave Blago and the "French connection" drug deal they were in together.

Bloomberg is reporting that Blagojevich’s top fundraiser represented CDR Financial Products Inc. -- that company at the center of the grand jury investigation that halted Richardson's cabinet appointment early this year.
