Phil Kadner reports on Burt Odelson, one of the most talented legal pitbulls in politics on how his influence has benefitted two opposing candidates and John Kass makes a secretary’s ring a metaphor for corruption in a yet to be fabricated smear on some elected official - he swung and he missed on old Burt Natarus; now, that is sloooowww pitch softball. Kadner or Kass - news or nonsense?

“Iraqi with ties to Rezko escapes Baghdad jail”
Wonder how all this going to shakeout for Corruptovich and his company of liars?
Haven’t heard much from the Feds lately, must be quite a intricate web these thugs have wove.
Sure hope Fitz hasn’t lost his nerve….
I can see the headlines now “Illinois Government Supports Terrorism”.

Hey?
If Governor Blagojevich is at the root of this Rezko fiasco along with all the other illegal dealings, could he be tried for treason?

Gee - Friend of Rezko, in jail, rescued by men in black SUVs? Where is the Guv’s security staff?

Calabrese could come back and bite a lot of politicians. Lots. Dems and Repubs.
