    Chrip Rezko Rezko and you’ll bag one.


  4. - Joe in the Know - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 8:56 am:

    “While you were in Chicago representing that slumlord, Rezko, I was greeting him in the White House. Ooops, did I just say that out loud?”

    “If don’t mention my association with Rezko, I won’t mention yours…”


  11. - train111 - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:01 am:

    “WJC” Is that a picture of us with Rezko?? That all depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.

    don’t i look pretty in pink?

    “So we’re agreed. You’ll set up Obama, so that when he runs for president against Hillary we can bring him down by criticizing his relationship with you. And in exchange, after she wins Hillary will make you HUD Secretary.”


  14. - Poli-Sci Geek - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:02 am:

    “I met Tony while trying to get Bill out of a Panda Express on the Tollway. Bill can’t get enough of that orange chicken.”


  15. - train111 - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:03 am:

    “HRC” I sniff another vast right wing conspiracy.


  16. - Wondering - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:03 am:

    No caption but would someone please email this to Obama so he can shut Hillary up??


  17. - tin man - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:04 am:

    The new three stooges- queasy,greasy and sleazy

  19. - Wumpus - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:07 am:

    You like to talk about Obama’s presents, well here is one for Obama.

    The 2008 Barrow gang.


  21. - wndycty - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:07 am:

    Hillary says to Rezko: we are having a fund raiser with our friends Peter Paul and Aaron Tonken next week do you think you can make it Tony?


  22. - Ben - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:07 am:

    Who had the photo first, you or DrudgeReport?


  23. - Stacker of Wheat - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:08 am:

    look! someone photoshoped tony’s face onto norman hsu’s body in this photo. Hillary is 86.


  24. - phocion - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:11 am:

    And let the Annointed One’s sins be cleansed through the healing waters of Rich Miller and the Drudge Report.


  25. - Macbeth - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:12 am:

    I don’t know why, but Hillary reminds me of Alfred E. Newman (from MAD magazine).

    “What, me worry?”

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Neuman


  26. - Truthful James - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:15 am:

    Rezko on his way to get his suit let out holding up two cardboard cutouts. For a grand more, he could get to feel the real thing.


  27. - Kiyoshi Martinez - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:17 am:

    Levois wins the thread.


  28. - Michelle Flaherty - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:17 am:

    What’s next? a pic of Bill, Papa Tony and Monica?
    Rezko’s turning into the Where’s Waldo of American politics.


  29. - Trafficmatt - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:18 am:

    “Rod, come on pal, do I really have to take a picture with these two? I mean, I have a reputation to uphold.”


  30. - Macbeth - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:20 am:

    So does this Rezko mania put another nail in the political ambitions of Blagojevich?


  31. - He makes Ryan Look like a Saint - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:20 am:

    This will stop them from talking about Whitewater!!!


  32. - Rich Miller - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:20 am:

    Ben, a couple of readers sent me the link to the Drudge photo.


  33. - Anonymous - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:24 am:

    For a change, the Clintons get THEIR wallets picked…..


  34. - the commuter once known as So Ill - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:25 am:

    Levois’ was good, but I like Poli-Sci Geek’s. I also love that orange chicken.


  35. - Rich Miller - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:25 am:

    Toxic Zelig strikes again.


  36. - A Citizen - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:27 am:

    Tony Rezko, marriage counselor, works the Clintons.


  37. - GA Watcher - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:30 am:

    Do as we say, not as we do.


  38. - Legal Eagle - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:32 am:

    Who produced this photo? Who would have had a copy, but Rezko and the Clintons in their files? Is it a fake? And, anyway, so what? The Clintons have no doubt posed for thousands of photos like this, with people and donors they don’t even know. Much ado about nothing, but this is the level to which our politics have stooped!


  39. - Diamond Dog - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:32 am:

    I’ll have a crooked sandwich on white!


  40. - Dirty Bath Water - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:33 am:

    Umm Bill. Who is this guy? I thought it was supposed to be Stephanopoulos taking the picture with us. What was that Bill? Oh, it was for $50,000? Never mind, snap away.


  41. - Joe in the Know - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:33 am:

    “I knew Tony Rezko before I didn’t know him.”


  42. - bored now - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:36 am:

    the background looks exactly like a standard background at the dnc.


  43. - OneManBlog - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:38 am:

    We never inhaled the same air…


  44. - A Citizen - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:39 am:

    Fitz’s Four Most Wanted minus one.


  45. - Rich Miller - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:42 am:

    ===Much ado about nothing, but this is the level to which our politics have stooped!===

    Exactly. Like those “Present” votes, this means nothing. It’s precisely why I posted the pic.


  46. - unclesam - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:47 am:

    Rezko: What does this word mean… this hypocracy?

    Bill: It is a made-up word, like “truth” or “is.” It means nothing.

    Hillary: There are only three words you need to know in this business — “power,” “money,” and “silence.”


  47. - anon - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:50 am:

  48. - Tootsie - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:50 am:

    “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”…but which is which????


  49. - Jon Shibley Fan - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:51 am:

    Shame on you. Shame. On. You.


  50. - Jon Shibley Fan - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:53 am:

    So, Legal Eagle, is it a fake, or one of thousands of photos?

    You seem to argue two opposing positions. Not unlike Hillary. Makes sense.


  51. - Madame Defarge - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 9:55 am:

    Hasn’t Rezko suffered enough—why must you embarrass him?


  52. - Macbeth - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:07 am:

    “Basically, it’s an up day.”


  53. - Bill Baar - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:09 am:

    ===Much ado about nothing, but this is the level to which our politics have stooped!===

    Who’s the our here? This is Democrat on Democrat.

    I’d be asking about Rezko’s deals on powerplants in Iraq, not this slumlord and picture stuff.

    It would be nice to know too, who’s the unamed source who leaked Obama as the unknown name in those court documents.

    I’d really like the pic of the leaker.


  54. - Vole - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:18 am:

    Slumlord to you. Just lord of sums to us.


  55. - VanillaMan - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:25 am:

    Staffer - “Just a second sir…your name?”
    VM - VanillaMan.

    Staffer - “Mr. Rezko is almost finished with his photo with the President and First Lady… While you are waiting, have you heard about our ‘Lincoln Bedroom Special’ - an overnight in the White House?
    VM - Yes, I have heard about that…

    Staffer - “Being from Illinois, you probably would love to overnight with the Clintons in Honest Abe’s bedroom, wouldn’t you?”
    VM - Yes I would. But I had to borrow the $1000 for this photo, and I really couldn’t come up with enough for the Lincoln Bedroom Special.

    Staffer - “OH, I think you could, Mr. VanillaMan. Have you heard about our ‘Friends and Family’ plan?”
    VM - No.

    Staffer - “The ‘We-Beg-Your-Pardon Special’? Know anyone in jail that needs our help? If you do, just make sure you come to us with a contribution to the Clinton Library.”
    VM - Can you guys hold my check for a couple of weeks? I’m a little short…

    Staffer speaking into headset - “Security? We have a Code Green here! Can you step away from this line Mr. VanillaMan and see those gentlemen at the door? Yah, the big guys…”
    VM - I waited a hour to meet the President…

    Staffer - “I SAID ‘STEP AWAY!’ Thank you!” “Just a second ma’am…your name?”
    Lady - “Denise Rich. My ex wants that ‘We-Beg-Your-Pardon Special’”

    Security - “Beat it loser! You are not our kind!”
    VM - I want my check back! TONY! TONY! OVER HERE! I KNOW YOU SEE ME! HELP!


  56. - Moe - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:30 am:

    Thanks for the Whitewater tip, Tony!


  57. - Jaded - Friday, Jan 25, 08 @ 10:33 am:

    Two former inhabitants of the White House, and one future inhabitant of the “Big House” pose for a picture.
