If Rezko takes down the whole lot of them…Obama, Jones, Stroger, Daley and ass-ociates…I would even donate a few Pesos to Rezko’s assistance…I will also take back all the nasty comments I wrote about Patrick Fitzgerald!

Oh I hope Rezko takes down the whole lot of them…Obama, Jones, Stroger, even Daley. This state is rotten to the core, Republican and Democrat. Its all about kick backs for your buddies and screw the taxpayers. I hope they all end up in cells next to Ryan. It’ll never happen the judges are all bought and paid for too.

This is getting so bad, I think Louisiana and New Jersey are laughing at us in the Land of Lincoln (alternative state motto as once selected by John Kass – “Illinois, will the defendant please rise”)

Any chance of any of this stuff implicating Obambi?

If Rezko turns into a witness, who has the most to lose? Right now, that looks like Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, whom Ata tied to at least one payoff.

I live in IL, I’d let Rezko walk if it snagged Blago.

Gov. Blagojevich indicted in 3…2…1 (buy your sqaure on the office pool soon, folks. He’s goin’ down)!

I bet Obamba is sweating bullets right now and praying that Rezko takes a page from Debra Palfrey’s book….

Pat Fitzgerald will be the only US Attorney to toast two Governors, to my knowledge. And he prosecuted and conviced Ramzi Youseff of the first WTC bombing.

Maybe they need to have “Govenor’s Row” in prison now. Blago can join Ryan in federal prison. I lived in the Chicago ‘burbs for 12 years, and I couldn’t believe how corrupt politics was in that state. I actually crossed party lines and voted for George Ryan’s democratic opponent because of how corrupt the guy was. I think it might be the only time I’ve voted democrat for anything. He would have been a much better governor than Ryan was.

As an aside:

Supposedly, the IL assembly is investigating impeachment against the Gov based on the outcome of the trial since earlier this week the state Senate voted down placing a recall amendment on the November ballot. The amendment was designed to go after Blago, but additions were made to go after other elected officials.

It passed in the House.

Emil Jones, Senate President and Barak’s mentor – and the guy who slapped Bam’s name on all the legislation Alan Colmes keeps mentioning, worked very hard to get the recall amendment killed.

Go figure.

He wrangled enough support from other Chicago-area dems to deny the amendment the 36 votes required (it got 33).

If Rezko bleeds out, Blago is finished.

Unfortunate that Emil denied the Illinois voting public of the option to throw out the rest of the trash.

BTW – Bam endorsed Blago, Daley and the rest of the crooks running the city, county and state governments.

Mayor dailey and governor blagojevish are the 2…………. Nah I would add a third. Will we be able to hear about all the deals they made to get him in office? Or will they make a deal to shut him up?

The Republican Party is basically dead in the state of Illinois because of the incompetence of the State Party Leaders and Candidates. Mayor Dailey and Governor Blagojevich are the 2 most corrupted politians in State history. There is no reason why those 2 A-Holes should be in office!

I keep watching for anything, anything at all, to show up on the news here in CA about Rezko and the trail. Nothing but crickets…

Is it being “saved” for later? With all the Rev. Wright fun, is the Rezko stuff being held back? Something to bring out when (if?) Rev. Wright ever decides to shut up?

Inquiring minds…

Rezko probably decided that if it was OK for Jeremiah Wright to throw Barak Obama under the bus to maintain his street cred with Black Nationalist supporters, it was OK for Tony to put a few more tire treads across Obama body to save his own skin.

I hope he does sing, a long song. I’ll admit I’ve never liked that liberal govornor, Blagojevich. Maybe a verse or 2 about Barry as well.

Just one more thing that the left can whine, cry and deny that it matters. Can we fast forward to November please?
