We'll just call this "The Corrupt Audacity OF Hope"...

This is how things work in a Democrat Utopia:

"Also in the ruling, St. Eve cited allegations by prosecutors Rezko offered to place the brother of another of his business partners, Joseph Cacciatore, on the Illinois Banking Board in exchange for a $50,000 contribution to Blagojevich's campaign. Cacciatore is the owner of a real estate firm that owned a portion of a proposed Rezko development in the South Loop.

"Rezko responded that a $50,000 contribution to Gov. Blagojevich would help his brother's chances of the board appointment," the ruling noted. Eventually, Rezko and Joseph Cacciatore allegedly agreed that Joseph Cacciatore would contribute $25,000 to the campaign and Rezko's development firm, Rezmar, would contribute the other $25,000 on behalf of Cacciatore. Rezko recommended Cacciatore's brother, Phil, for the banking board in February 2004 and Blagojevich later appointed him to the board."

More Democrat Corruption from this story:

“Blagojevich’s former chief of staff, Lon Monk, was mentioned as signing off on Levine’s reappointments. Joseph Cari, a former finance director for the national Democratic Party, has already pleaded guilty in the case to charges that he helped siphon millions illegally from Illinois pension funds.”

So how come the only party referenced in the story is with Republican accomplices, but the word "Democrat" isn't mentioned once?
