The Clinton-Rezco Vetting has now begun...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/6/123948/7839

Since the name of Chicago defendant Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko has come up in national debate, it seems fair to look at donations from other defendants in Chicago’s "Operation Board Games."

Of the other five defendants, three have donated to the Clintons or to Clinton supporters, three have donated mostly to Republicans, and at least two have donated to Obama’s political opponents. None have donated to Obama.

..snip

Predictably, the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the national co-chair of Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigo, also got Rezko donations.

2. Let the investigations begin!! Let's look at every financial transaction in BO's adult life.
Obviously, an investigation needs to be launched into every financial transaction Barack and Michelle Obama have ever engaged in -- including a review of every personal check they ever wrote.

This is only fair, because it is exactly what the Clintons had to go through before being cleared of all the trumped-up charges the right-wingnuts (precursors of some of today's Obama supporters) threw at them. Where's there's smoke (like Whitewater or Rezko) there MUST be an investigation!

Every transaction of Hillary's financial life has ALREADY been looked into. 100 million dollars were spent trying to come up with something, anything, to charge either Clinton with. But nothing was found.

Since that's the standard we have for Hillary, let's apply that same standard to Obama as well.

Let's look into every aspect of his past life with the same verve, prosecutorial bloodlust and open expense account used against Bill and Hillary, and see if Barack and Michelle come out -- as the Clintons did -- clean as a whistle.

(Betcha they wouldn't -- which is why I betcha that -- unlike Bill and Hillary -- neither Obama will ever say, "Go ahead and investigate us. We have nothing to hide.")

4. the Clinton's haven't been vetted since the 90's. Bill's been using his WH days to make a fortune
for himself the way retired generals get cushy, high paying jobs pimping for the military industrial complex.

3. The Clinton-Rezko connections better hit the teevee or they won't have
much impact.
