Jan Schakowsky has long been a star moonbat under the scrutiny of DTN She sponsored the bill to ease trade sanctions against Cuba. She received $1.4 million from the leftwing group EMILY’s List, and this helped her overcome attacks based on her husband Robert Creamer’s resignation as head of Citizens Action of Illinois because of a federal investigation In this heavily-Democratic district, backed by 1,500 activist workers, she easily won the general election She once told a writer for the local Democratic Socialists of America (DSA): “The American people are not ideological; therefore, the way to go is to attack private power.” She has also accepted an award from DSA, which is the chief American arm of the Socialist International. Well now she is making headlines, specifically at the Chicago Sun Times, thanks to her hubby pleading guilty to fraud. Robert Creamer, 58, the husband of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., could face more than four years in federal prison at sentencing. “I love my husband,” Schakowsky said. She said Creamer “has worked all of his adult life to build organizations that empower the powerless, he has fought for causes that make life better for everyday people.”
Creamer is one of Chicago’s best-known political consultants. He has worked for the campaigns of both Mayor Richard M. Daley and Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Our friends at Marathon Pundit tell us that Creamer has a history of writing bad checks
I'm sowwwwwwy seems to be the echo of the Democrats in Chicago. Personally, their sorrow doesn't concern me in the least. The infestation will continue without end.
If you mean the infestation of socialist leftists in the Democratic Party, you're absolutely correct.
And the nanny state refugees of their voting block. Yes that's exactly what I mean.
I used to live in the district before Schakowsky was elected. It went overwhelmingly for McGovern in 1972.
It won't surpise you to know that her district is full of wealthy limousine liberals who vote left because it assuages their guilt.
