The Last Supper
Comment by MOON Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:38 am
Don’t worry, Rod. The belly dancer agreed to do your fundraiser gratis in exchange for this statehouse gig.
Comment by Snidely Whiplash Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:39 am
A politician sits next to a prolific fundraiser that nobody , including the other pols who took his money, knew at the time had questionable business practices. I bet there are similar photos with Rezko and just about every elected official in Illinois from Cook County.

I wonder…are those feds coming for me or you?

TOny, let’s bundle some money for that young, dynamic, articulate Obama!
Comment by Wumpus Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:42 am
That had better be the regular Friday envelope you’re slipping into my back pocket, Tony!
Comment by Snidely Whiplash Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:43 am
Also no I am not a big fan of Rod . I was against the Gross Receipts Tax and his style is one I don’t agree with always, BUT
I feel that the notion that his relationship with Rezko is any different from Rezko’s relationship with Daley, Stroger, Madigan, Obama, Jones, etc etc is just plain silly. People who hate Rod, jump to every worst conclusion possible about him but give everyone else a free pass. The criticism over policy is legit, but I think there is a bit of “rush to judgement” and double standards on this rezko issue with Rod.

Insider,
Not just anyone sits next to the governor at a small table during a fundraiser.

That Barack gives a great speech.

I wonder if this pic came from someone’s camera or the media took this one.
Comment by Levois Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:50 am
I wonder if that guy behind me will pick up the tab? Maybe I’ll just tell him I’m going to the bathroom and not come back.
Comment by Anon Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:55 am
Tony who?
The governors office provided a picture today proving that he has ‘turned his back’ on Tony
Comment by OneManBlog Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 9:57 am
“Waiter, check please,” said the Gov. “And Rezko is paying. And he doesn’t tip well…”
Comment by pickles!! Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:01 am
Abby! Get the scheduler on the phone. Tell her I don’t ever want to sit next to Dr. Phil again!

Is that “Illinois Insider” sitting on the other side of the table?

“You will all be glad to know that this event will not be photographed or shown on YouTube.”
(Just curious, what is worse: Blags picture with Rezko or Judy Baar Topinka’s picture dancing with Ryan. Interesting paradigm)
Comment by dc Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:13 am
Rod, can you pass the contracts please?
Comment by B Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:14 am
As part of a plea agreement with Federal prosecuters, Governor Blagojevich agrees to super-glue his hands together whenever he is a room with more than 3 potential campaign contributors to prevent him from stealing wallets.
Comment by Trafficmatt Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:16 am
Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.
Comment by Marco Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:23 am
I’ve gotta agree with Illinois Insider on this one. A picture is worth a thousand words. No more, just a thousand. So wrap it up already.

Q1.) Which individual in the photo above is a dishonest crook?
A1.)OK - just kidding!
Q2.) Which TWO individuals in the photo above are dishonest crooks!
Comment by VanillaMan Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:27 am
Not a caption, but doesn’t it look like Blagojevich is sitting on Rezko’s lap?

Ah, the good old days when we did not have to share our thief/crony with Obama. Let’s have a hand for those times!

Hey Bill & Hillary, come on over here and have your picture taken with my good friend…..

1. Milorad Blagojevich and Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force enjoy an exciting evening of dinner theater.
2. After spotting federal agents in the doorway, Gov. Rod Blagojevich puts his hands together in preparation for handcuffs.

Were crooks of the round table.
We clap when we are able.
This Camalot was sure a fable.
Comment by Garp Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 10:32 am
Rod: (muttering under his breath)”Damn. Don’t look now but here come some Feds and they look like they have handcuffs out.”
Tony: (turning) Whaaa?!?

Tickets to Governor’s fundraiser: $2,000
Kickback to Rezko to get a seat at the Governor’s table to gain “influence”: $10,000
Being lucky enough to have a seat on the other side of the table and not be caught in this photo: Priceless

Tony, thinking to himself: “man, the crap I got to put up and the people I have to hang out with to make a few million here and there. There has got to be something easier out there for someone of my stature and fame.”

Comment by DuPage Dem Thursday, Jan 31, 08 @ 11:13 am
Told that they needed to be “looking over your shoulders for Patrick Fitzgerald,” the governor and Rezko took the advcie literally.

The very first post from MOON wins it all - The Last Supper. No need for further comments.

Whatever the event, it just shows how little respect G-Rod gets or deserves. The sitting Governor of the State has to sit with his back toward the action?
