This New York Times report is mother’s milk to Karl Rove and his Super PAC American Crossroads (not to mention his 501(c)4 super-soaker Crossroads GPS):
Former Obama Fund-Raiser Gets Over 10 Years in Fraud and Bribery Case
CHICAGO — More than three years after his conviction on fraud and bribery charges, Antoin Rezko, a former real estate mogul and a once-powerful fund-raiser with ties to President Obama’s early political career, was sentenced on Tuesday to 10 and a half years in prison.
“Enough is enough,” Judge Amy J. St. Eve of Federal District Court said before she passed sentence. “The corruption in the Illinois state government has to stop.”
Which should jump-start a Crossroads attack ad on Obama in just about . . . tomorrow.
Campaign Outsider 
I’m not sure that Crossroads would bother. Questions about Obama’s past connections in Chicago seem a little off message if you want to attack a sitting president. It would be like attacking Bush in 2004 for the Texas Rangers stadium deal.
You may be right, Bob. We’ll see.
It’s also Obama’s association. He gets to live with it.
I’m sure that if Brown had an association like that, Warren would be making a stink like cheap perfume.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mudge.
One thanks that we all need to give is for Campaign Outsider’s always interesting comments and views.
Here’s to CO and the chief executive of his operation, Mrs. CO.
Thank you, Mudge. I’m grateful for your contributions as well.
