Rezko Clears Obama And Blago
Well you didn't hear it here first. That would have been a June story at Politico. In a letter to the U.S. District judge who presided over his trial, Rezko, who was convicted this month of 16 corruption-related counts, including fraud and money laundering, called prosecutors "overzealous." And he singled out what he said were their efforts to get him to turn on Obama, an Illinois senator and the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.Good for Rezko. Finally an honest crook. We could use more of them. Unfortunately for Blagojevich, Rezko seems to have dropped the dime on him. A footnote to the 76-page criminal complaint and affidavit charging Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich, a Democrat, with soliciting bribes confirms what has long been rumored: that a former longtime friend of and fundraiser for President-elect Barack Obama is talking to federal prosecutors in hopes of a reduced sentence.Well he sung like a canary on Blagojevich who Rezko claimed was innocent of any wrong doing in June. I wonder if he suddenly remembered a few things about Obama as well? I guess I should take back what I said about Rezko being an honest crook. So let me see. If we have a Republican Congress in January of 2011 how soon will it be before Obama is impeached? Any one care to give me an over/under?

I don't see impeachment for Obama either, unless someone finds a dead body under the bus.
Donna B. · December 14, 2008 09:49 PM Eric -- Would it be at all possible for you to implement a feature where users are able to select/deselect the individual bloggers whose posts appear on the page? This M. Simon character has been unpleasant enough all along, but now the posts by this sufferer of Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS) are severely outnumbering yours, and it is really adversely affecting my desire to visit your site. jason · December 15, 2008 12:12 AM jason, Eric is rather busy and he can't keep up his previous volume of posts. That may last for another month. There is an application for FireFox that will do what you ask. At least in so far as comments go. I'm not sure it will do it for the main text. http://www.penney.org/ggkiller.html Read all the comments (I haven't) as the application seems to have been updated. I don't use it so I can't say if it works or it has anything malicious attached. M. Simon · December 15, 2008 01:08 AM Donna, There was a third rate burglary no one thought was significant either. Of course Obama may not be implicated. Just a bunch of his close cronies. === Jason, I'm with you. If Rezko says Obama is not a crook I believe him. What are the odds that anyone who rose as fast in Chicago politics as Obama was dirty? ∅ M. Simon · December 15, 2008 01:28 AM Jason, please don't leave me! I know that this M. Simon character has been unpleasant all along, but I'm running a scam and I sold my soul and a pound of flesh to that Jewish devil and if you bear with me for a bit, together we can restore wholesomeness! Eric Scheie · December 15, 2008 01:35 AM More like a crook who wants a Presidental pardon. Roy Mustang · December 15, 2008 11:14 AM Post a comment

Well, how about we wait until Obama actually does something impeachable in office? Which he's probably too smart to do, or rather to get caught doing. If Bill Clinton could instill such loyalty in Susan MacDougall that she'd go to federal prison rather than testify, imagine what Obama's Kool-Aid drinkers would do for him. For a guy like him, there will always be plenty of people ready to take a bullet.
No, we're not going to see another such spectacle with Obama, and I'd just as soon forgo it anyway.
Anyway, even if Obama is caught with his hands in the cookie jar, against the best efforts of a complicit media and legions of devoted staffers hurling themselves under the bus, what are the odds the Republicans will want to risk annihilation trying to impeach him?
