It was a terrific find! And links are fine. FWIW, I’ll link cuz I can never remember who’s getting their knickers in a knot over the copyright thing :)
Probably best you didn't...it's a Getty Image. I think they're a no-no here.
You can't post it on here anyway. It's a Getty image and FR is prohibited from posting those (think the prohibition goes back to Registered's photoshopping of John Kerry and Jane Fonda back in the '04 election).
Great find. Note the presidential seal on her podium. barf.
Haven’t read the entire thread, so don’t know if this has been linked yet. The Chicago Sun Times did a great summary last April of Rezko’s contributions. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/353782,CST-NWS-rezpols23.article
Looks like Rezko’s MO was just spreading money around to keep his gravy train rolling. Probably not a party idealogue; it’s just that most of the pols in positions to keep his cash flowing happened to be Dems. Typical chicago cost of doing business. The non-illinois donations are probably just more suck-up the local pols, ingratiating himself to the local pols who get credit with the DNC and the Clintons for steering money to designated coffers.
But the point is, everyone in chicago and the DNC knew who Rezko was. Consequently, so did Bill and Hill.
