In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here's a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation's capital. And Chicago.

We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign.

Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer.

Some excellent sales on bulk rope make this a surprising but manageable series of events...

Also, Greenberg may be involved in the Blumenthal campaign for Dodd’s Senate seat in Connecticut.
I could not believe the polls that gave Blumenthal such high numbers.

Too bad the lame-brained incompetent beholden to Chicago politics, socialism, communism and proganda driven mainstream media couldn't pick up a NEWS STORY, like this one, if it meant their very survival. And they wonder why nobody watches, reads or listens to them anymore.......(eyes rolling).

Millions upon millions of Americans will read about this (another White House corruption "coincidence") on the internet and disregard the snow job they are fed elsewhere.

Of course - the pre-eminent crony capitalist putting his political powers in the executive office at the service of the cronies to whom he's whored himself out.
