Roh Roh Rezko

The Trial of Tony Rezko just got a little more interesting -

As the federal probe into Illinois' Gov. Blagojevich's administration heated up in late 2004, there were discussions between GOP powerbroker Robert Kjellander and Bush White House insider Karl Rove to oust corruption-busting U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald from his job, according to a man whom prosecutors want to testify at Tony Rezko’s trial.

Rezko — a former top fund-raiser for Blagojevich, a Democrat, and Democratic U.S. Sen. Barack Obama — also has been a big supporter of Bush, helping host a major fund-raiser for the GOP president in 2004.

The 'aleged' ties to Bush are all new - and ties in the scandal filled mine field of the Att. General firings. Those were very un-sexy, but extremely difficult to prove or prosecute. We also have a Congress that likes to show it's belly to the Administration. It's just not a beejay, so no one cares. Just like the Valerie Plame situation. Had they called it an 'Affair' there would have been at least a TV movie of the week about it.

And before OneF froths up at the chance to finally nail our lame duck President and Karl Rove, let's just remember what a circus this trial is trying to become... in other words, don't hold your breath, OneF, (but you can cross your fingers)

The list of the Bush pardons will make an excellent blog posting some day....
