Figures.... The Tribune is bankrupt not only financially, but morally as well.
Good riddance to that skid-marked toilet tissue.

Unless you love the Dailey/Chicago machine or liberalism, yes, we have resentment toward Chicago.

Regardless of the politics surrounding it I just love the city and its people.

"Fitzgerald handled the Plame investigation rather poorly, yes. But, he is no liberal/dem hack....... Within the legal community, he is widely known as a non-partisan straight shooter."

I think that’s correct.

The OLYMPICS are at stake .. and Daley’s
salivating to make sure they happen in
Chicago.

I pray the Olympic committee turns it down.

Has anyone looked into how Obama received his senate seat, step by step?

Newspaper people and presidential-politico Democrats never talk to each other, “off the record...”

Now, do they?

Cannot imagine an investigation of Republicans being treated this way by the Mediascum.

Republicans need to take a cue from Palin and take the media on. We need to demand answers. There is a major cover up going on here. Fitz opened up this can of worms and he needs to see it through no matter how high up it goes. If it means the first "black" president goes down, so be it. Obama and his team are not above the law.

The media was willing to lie against Scooter Libby and look at this corruption. Always thought the Tribune reported on the Rezko scandal pretty well, but maybe it was just Kas?

Pray for W and Our Troops

I don’t completely believe this story. Fitz actually complimented the Tribune for holding back the story during his news conference. Go back and watch it if you don’t believe me. He wouldn’t have reacted that way if he were angry.

Another thing — the feds don’t make newspapers aware of what they’re investigating until they’re good and ready. Nobody at the Trib had any idea when and if Blago was going to be arrested, or for what, until Tuesday morning. So I don’t think the Trib broke th story to protect Obama. More like they just got impatient with their hot tip.

“Has anyone looked into how Obama received his senate seat, step by step?”

That would require something known as “investigative journalism”-—it doesn’t exist in the Cook County.
