The True Meaning of Fitzmas
Posted at 8:25am on Jun. 5, 2008 RNC gets a Rezko ad up.
Commendably fast of them.

Of course, unlike apparently Senator Obama, we've known for some time that the man was dirty:
Please note, by the way, that the RNC is not calling Senator Obama corrupt, himself: such assessments will not be meaningful, one way or the other, until the indictments come out next Fitzmas Day. What they are calling him is a man who has confessed to having the judgment skills of a stunned tree sloth*, which is much easier to prove, given some of the things that come out of Senator Obama's mouth when his eyes aren't glued to a Teleprompter. Or, as Hot Air notes (H/T to comments section for the video), given Senator Obama's sad tendency to have friends unworthy of his greatness.

Posted at 5:07pm on Jun. 4, 2008 Now *this* is what a Fitzmas looks like, folks.
Of course, it helps when there's an *actual* crime being committed besides perjury.

Jury reaches guilty verdict in Rezko corruption case
The jury deliberating the fate of former state political powerbroker Antoin "Tony" Rezko has found him guilty on 16 of 24 counts in his corruption trial.
On Monday, jurors had sent Judge Amy St. Eve a note saying it was deadlocked on one of 24 corruption counts charged against Rezko, but the judge sent them back into the jury room, urging them to "make every reasonable effort to reach a verdict" on each individual count. She said each individual count must have a unanimous verdict.
Not sure yet which were the charges that got got, but I'm betting that 16 is enough to make Rezko pay attention when Fitzgerald leans over at a meeting and says "Tell me the magic word, Tony."
Ooh! Do you think that we'll see frog-marching?
