Nice. The Arizona Republic buried this story on page 6 of the paper. Nice. One would think that a news agency would want voters to know who the candidates hang out with and do business with and commit crimes with. Meh, I guess I am wrong.

Maybe they will put him in the governors wing at Joliet.

My understanding is that 3 of the last 7 Illinois governors have resided there.
And the current Illinois governor is also likely to drop in.

Given Obama’s assurances that (1) he’s a Christian, and (2) he’s a strong supporter of Israel, I’m struck by how many powerful Muslims he has been involved with and funded by in Illinois.

This will affect Obama somewhat less than White Water affected the Clintons, which is to say not at all. People on this site seem to perpetually have their hopes up that some scandal is going to come along that will derail Obama’s campaign.

Sad to say but that may be true. As with Clinton I Obama is facing a weak Republican. But then Obama has drawn somewhat less than half of the votes in a hotly contested Democratic race. He did not have the weight to break out; but even though most of these issues were known about him nothing really hurt him either. As we have seen H. Clinton did not get the coronation we were told by some many experts to expect. The Rezko story is low key or totally absent on the alphabet networks–I imagine millions haven’t seen it or tie it to Obama. The alphabet networks have all given glowing reports about Obama and creme puff interviews.

So now we wait. How many of H. Clinton’s loyalist really will not vote for Obama? Certainly not the numbers we hear today, those always change, but perhaps enough. And it’s a little over five months until the election and someone could stumble. Perhaps McCain.

Who knows, sharia law may be coming to a country near you. We could be the first country with a marxist jihad!

My oh My, Gov. Hairspray, i’m falling out of my seat over that one. He is known as HelmetHead at our house. Politics in Illinois is soooooooo black, or is it bleak, ah, both!! I figure the only reason HelmetHead is closing prisons is cause he thinks if no cells are available, he won’t have to go.

- Guilty on 12 of 15 counts mail/wire fraud
- Not Guilty on 1 count attempted extortion
- Guilty on 2 of 6 counts corrupt solicitation
- Guilty on 2 counts money laundering

Clearly it’s Boooooosh’s fault that Tony Rezko was forced into a life of crime because he couldn’t obtain health care insurance for his children.

Yecccchhh. How do the trolls crank out mindless drivel like that? It hurts to be that stupid.

People on this site seem to perpetually have their hopes up that some scandal is going to come along that will derail Obama’s campaign. Unless it is discovered he had electro-shock therapy (I’m reaching back to McGovern-Eagleton for those who remember it), it just ain’t gonna happen. And even then . . .

Corruption is the great city of Chicago? Who would have thought it with that nice Mayor Daly in charge. John Wayne Gacy missed one.
The evening news in on now and not one word so far.

I’m hoping some people can help me out here. I found the below article on one of the blogs I read regularly, but can’t remember which one. But in any case, after reading all six parts of the report, I was absolutely fascinated, but now I cannot understand why the blogosphere is not more abuzz about this… Is it not accurate? Is Obama not implicated as much as this report would leave one to believe? The last chapter is especially intriguing.

I linked to the last chapter simply because it gives the links for the first five parts. It’s long, but a good read.
