Politics, Chicago style

The trial of Rod Blagojevich has begun. It should be fun, in a Jerry Springer-ish kind of way.

Remember as you read this: Barrack Obama came from this cesspool. He was influenced by it and he was shaped by it. He is part of it. The most transparent administration in history? Please. Spare me.

Which reminds me, how many of you remember the name Tony Rezko? Here is a brief refresher. There is more out there, to be sure.

How about how Obama became a senator in the first place?  Well, it helps to have judges on your side.  From Wikipedia (and many other sources):

"On March 29, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider ruled that several of the Ryans' divorce records should be opened to the public, and ruled that a court-appointed referee would later decide which custody files should remain sealed to protect the interests of Ryan's young child."

"The decision to release the files generated much controversy because it went against both parents' direct request, and because it reversed the earlier decision to seal the papers in the best interest of the child."

"Ryan's campaign ended less than a week after the custody records were opened, and Ryan officially filed the documentation to withdraw on July 29, 2004. Obama was left without an opponent."


Here's an interesting take on Jack Ryan: "Ah yes. Jack Ryan. The only politician I know of to go down for a sex scandal where: the woman involved was his wife, and they didn't have sex." - Jeremy Smith
