If Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wants to prove he's innocent, he might consider dressing like it. On Monday, one day before his arrest, the governor wore an all-black ensemble to a press conference where he asked state agencies to suspend business with Bank of America.

On Tuesday, after Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges and released on bail, his attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters, "He's sad, surprised and innocent."

But on Wednesday, Blagojevich was back at work and back to wearing the color often associated with crooks...from head-to-toe.
