Antoin "Tony" Rezko was arrested early Monday at his Wilmette home by federal agents on an alleged bond violation, the Tribune has learned.

Investigators had in recent weeks become concerned about the movement of some of his finances, a source said. Rezko, who is scheduled to stand trial on corruption charges in less than a month at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, was taken into custody due to an alleged bond violation, a source confirmed.

I’m sure he’ll get McDougal syndrome.

How much money did that photo opportunity with the Clintons cost Tony?

Verrry interesting . . . but I’m thinking (cynically) that just like the Hsu incident this won’t go anywhere.

It’s only bad when Republicans are linked to shady characters. /s

This might be the Bush machine jumping into the election... Would Edwards stand a chance against McCain, Romney or Rudy?

We’ll see...but if the Clintons can keep Hsu tamped down..I imagine they can rev up Rezko.

Is Clinton currently in charge? Or is Bush blocking for the Clintons?

Next question: Will the media give this more airtime and column space than they did Norman Hsu....?

Guess the next thing we will see is Obama’s druggie friends from his teen years coming forward with pics and testimony about their “good old days” with Barry.

The Clintons are getting desperate and it’s mean-spirited technic I don’t care to see in any form of our society.

John McCain has the same kind of killer instincts when it comes to his political career, IMHO.

The Toons better be sure they know what they're dealing with in making an issue out of Rezko. Rezko may be able to bite both candidates on the butt.

Alternately- bringing Rezko up may get the media to start focusing more on Hsu...it’s beginning to look as though the MSM is dumping Hillary.

Whatever the case..it’s entertaining:)

I have to give Joe Scarborough credit. He said ,yes, the Clintons take thousands of pictures a year but how much did they get for this one?

That is just what I was thinking....Obama beat Klinton in SC and now the smut starts....what a shame we have to witness this trash again....

A shame? I despise Obama. He is as phony as the Clintons, and far more left-wing. I say bring on the RAT bloodletting. We need them to re-enact 1968 in order to win this year.

True, LOL. But the national security implications, especially in Rezko's case, are what's really concerning me. Hopefully my tinfoil chapeau's on too tight :)

Another phase in the battle between the empty suit and the empty pantsuit.

Chicago is Obama’s neck of the woods - so it might be something other than Clinton sleeze.

Agreed- it’s ALL disturbing- no matter who is pulling what strings.
