[0:00] Take the

[0:01] Happy Holidays from us.

[0:02] Oh, yes. The GEICO Gecko in migration.

[0:05] Driven by primal instinct to help people

[0:07] save hundreds of dollars on their car

[0:09] insurance. Hey, do you see that guy over

[0:11] there?

[0:14] He's giving me the heebie-jeebies.

[0:18] You got to be kidding me.

[0:26] What a clever creature.

[0:28] GEICO, 15 minutes could save you 15% or

[0:30] more on car insurance.

[0:35] Tonight, the governor of Illinois

[0:37] arrested in what prosecutors call a

[0:39] corruption crime spree.

[1:20] prevent disease.

[1:25] This is the CBS Evening News with Katie

[1:28] Couric.

[1:32] Good evening, everyone. Federal agents

[1:34] say they were disgusted by what they

[1:36] heard on the wiretaps. Prosecutors say

[1:38] it was appalling. The governor of

[1:40] Illinois allegedly conspiring to sell

[1:42] the US Senate seat just vacated by

[1:45] President-elect Obama. And that is just

[1:47] the beginning of the corruption charges

[1:49] filed today against Governor Rod

[1:51] Blagojevich as agents took him into

[1:53] custody in Chicago. Dean Reynolds is

[1:55] there.

[1:57] The arrest by the FBI took place
