Look at how she refers to Tony Rezko, when attackign Obama: She just refers to him as “Rezko,” like he’s a mafia don…. like “Capone,” or “Dillinger” or “Gotti.”
I got another one for you, Hillary: “Hsu!”

Rezko is a guy that cashed in on his minority status in the city of Chicago. He lives in Wilmette. This is one of the wealthiest areas per capita in the entire country. His money is made in some of the poorest areas of Chicago.

Nobody makes money from poor neighborhoods in Chicago while living in posh Wilmette without the approval of the Daley Machine.

I’m a little surprised Rezko isn’t a banker.

Hillary: B Hussein Obama’s illinois congressional run was financed exclusively by Tony Rezko..who is a crook who has family members in lebanon that are Hezzbollah members!

Of course he buys favors from me too….but make no mistake about it..I, Hillary Clinton, am owned exclusively by Saudi muslim terrorists not shi’ite muslim terrorists! Don’t forget it.

To the untrained eye, it looks like a real “gotcha,” but anyone who has ever had their photo taken like that with anyone famous knows, that there was probably a line of people going up one by one for photos with Bill and Hillary as part of some event… happens all the time. I have one of me and the present Governor of Massachusetts (spare me!) that was taken at a civic event that my company was sponsoring… I am sure (and I pray) that he has no recollection of me. This is not a news item.

Update (AP): Would Hillary have brought up Rezko at the debate (and allegedly told Edwards there’s more to come about him and Obama) if she knew her hands were dirty, though? Her team must have researched this.

You mean like they researches Chinatown and Hsu?

Here’s a link to Lynn Sweet’s blog at the Chicago Tribune detailing Hillary donor, Myron Cherry, who has been named in the Rezko indictment:

I wish I could find the picture of Hillary, Chelsea & Bill with Arafat in 1998, and both Hill and Chelsea are wearing full head scarves.

I’d run that shot in EVERY ad I did were I advising her opponents.

It may be only a photograph. But anytime the Clintons open their mouths to defend themselves, they may as well be saying blah blah blah…. for all I care I don’t trust them, never will.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE! We are talking about the Clintons. Pay to play is the name of the game. This guy Rezko ponied up enough to get both Hill & Bill to stand at attention in a solo shot. That comes with a sizeable price tag. Have you all forgotten so soon? The Clintons….

You don’t get politics, I guess. That could be payback from some congressperson who got an extra invite to a White House function.

For the love of God, people, quit saying’ unsubstantiated stupid crap.

DaveS on January 25, 2008 at 12:27 PM

I love it when people who accuse people of saying stupid crap say stupid crap themselves.

So you think it could be a payback from some congressman. Not sure? Maybe it was? Taking a guess are you? Can you substantiate that?

Hey douchebag, you’ve got no more inside information than I do.

One thing I do know for certain is we always have to question the lying and deceiving Clintons. That’s always a good start for any speculation.

Yeah, but it is not a relationship unless Bill had sex with him…ménage à trois, the thought makes me go blind, and a new meaning to “slum lord”.

This looks like a reception line photo from the early days of the Clinton era. Hillary has what looks to this untrained eye to be an early-90′s doo.

Prior commenters are quite right: somewhere somehow Rezko gave enough money to some candidate or committee to earn himself a spot in a major-donor reception. Most likely, the dude stood in line with the other fat cats till his place was up, then got prolly 10 seconds to say hello before getting photog’d and shuffled back to his seat.

Or, maybe not. Call the FEC and ask them to run a donor-lookup on Rezko as far back as their records go. They will fax results to you within 24 hours: (800) 424-9530. Or if youre in Washington, its (202) 694-1000.

BP is your “might be nothing, might be something”, referencing Dan Hill, friend and consigliere to 9/11 hero Rick Rescorla? If so, fine work.

The Clintons have so much dirt on them that even they must forget where it all is at times. It would take a full-time team to research all their in-house corruption. I suspect there is very little left that they can accuse others of doing that they don’t have a hand in themselves. The thing that really gets me is that the voters don’t seem to care about that.
