How sad it is that the Democrats teathered themselves to Patrick Fitzgerald when he was investigating the Valerie Plame controversy. The results fell far short of the Dems desired result, but many stellar opinions of Fitzgerald were advanced with soaring Democrat rhetoric. I hope that many good videos of the Dems have been saved for the coming days, as Tony Rezko may now be singing in order to reduce his time as a tenant of the Federal Penal system.
A news article in the
The Chicago Tribune today says, (
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-rezko-flip28sep28,0,5691387.story ) "Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, a convicted influence peddler who was once one of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's most trusted confidants, has met with federal prosecutors and is considering cooperating in the corruption probe of the governor's administration, sources told the Tribune." The article indicates that Rezko may already be talking and that prosecutors seem to be probing other Chicago corruption witnesses and targets through inside information that seems to be of a nature that only Rezko could know.
The Tribune article also said, "Rezko was a political supporter of Obama going back to when he was running for state Senate. Obama's ties to Rezko have become a political albatross for the presidential nominee, who has been forced to defend the convicted felon's fundraising activities for him and revelations Obama bought his South Side mansion on the same day in 2005 that Rezko purchased a vacant lot next door." A talking Tony Rezko is bad news for Obama, whose favorite dodge for unseemly associations is that they happened long, long ago, and far, far away. With the possibility of the Rezko story newly appearing above the fold in major newspapers, that dodge won't work and the middle class and others will have the information newly pressed into their frontal lobes. Obama has a history of very bad associations that legitimately call up questions as to his ability to make the sound judgements required of a President of the U.S.A. and (since Pelosi questioned the patriotism of House Republicans this week) these types of associations are in contradiction of true patriotism.
