Did You Know...

Ugh. I know the Chicago Way has a way of getting into every political story. But let’s not get off the rails here.

Lots of people on Twitter are claiming a “connection” between Chicago resident/Herman Cain accuser Sharon Bialek and Obama guru David Axelrod.

This is the source of the confusion: Cook County records showing a court case involving Bialek and a plaintiff represented by a “David Axelrod” of Highland Park, IL.

He is a completely different Axelrod who practices law.

This is the Obama Axelrod:

That Axelrod is not connected to Bialek. (Not yet, anyway.)

Capiche?

For what it’s worth, Cook County records show three court cases involving Bialek — two debt collections cases in 2009 and 2007, and one child support/paternity-related case in 1999:
