Rezko Gets 10+ Years
Pale and thin, his legs shackled and bare forearms tightly crossed in a frigid federal courtroom, an unsmiling Tony Rezko on Tuesday looked a faded portrait of the man who stood trial before the same judge 3 ½ years ago.
“Just looking at you physically is evidence of the great fall that you have had,” U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve told Rezko.
At that, the pallid Rezko flushed, his eyes welling up.
Boo hoo hoo. This is way better than the 18 months or 2 years too many politicians were getting in Illinois.
We could lay the blame for a lot of things at Rezko's feet.
You know what would be even better now? Blago getting 20. And Shortshanks getting 30.

...just before she kicked him down another flight of stairs...
Way to go.
"You know what would be even better now? Blago getting 20. And Shortshanks getting 30."
...and R.J. getting life.
Don't worry about Patrick. He looked like The Incredible Hulk bursting out of his undersized clothes at the recent wedding; no necktie 'cause "gotta get air!" Steroids'll do that. He'll probably ram his head through a brick wall to impress a girl or something.
Gee thats funny that guy that he sold land to for next to nothing in a shady real estate deal is never mentioned.
Mr. Rezko didn't care about anyone but himself and the connected when he was stealing millions. Another arrogant fuckhead politico who wouldn't piss on peasants like us if we were on fire. Even Obama got help from him. Do your time sir and fuck you!
Rahm getting 40 and Obama getting 50!
Three down, seven to go...
I bet Blago is crapping his pants about now. Perhaps that arrogant fuck will start squealing to save his own skin.
Taking down a Jackson, Emanuel, or Obama would be icing on the cake.
There is a mighty fine line between the ever present crime syndicate, outfit, mob, crime family (or whatever you want to call it these days) and our POS politicians in this world, in terms of committing crimes... and let's not even get started on ethics, morals and the "greater good" of society.
There is nothing worse than a politician/lawyer who gains the trust of the people, who then betrays that trust and sells them down the river.
If I were Blago I'd be trying to make it back to the mountains of Serbia. No extradition treaty. Go through Mexico and make arrangements from there. I wouldn't give the government the satisfaction.
Go after the Irish first and then work your way down. Oh yeah I forgot PATRICK FITZGERALD.
His book should be interesting, if he's alive long enough to write it.
Considering Fast Eddie was just released after serving just a few months, the Rezko sentence seems a bit extreme.
But the entire Team Blago went beyond anything M Madigan or Richie allowed so they need to pay the price...sorry dude. You should have realized who REALLY had the power and it wasn't Blago.
Hey,1204,you make it sound like the judge did a bad thing
Obama's asshole has to be a bit puckered this morning. If Rezko talks, Obama
will be in the next cell.
Blago gets 20 and becomes George Ryan's cellie in Ft Wayne, that is my dream.
Wait until Obama and Axelrid thrown Rahm under the bus over Sokyndra........Priceless.
OBAMA, where is Obama in every article and interview involving this case? Once again, the Second Coming of Christ walked away untouched. A product of the most corrupt political Machine in America, once again dodged the taint of corruption. And the final chapter will be a full Presidential Pardon, especially if Obama does not get a second term.
"shortshanks getting 30... And what about Obama? You remember Rezko's buddy Obama, the same Obama who got a house from Rezko? Let's just give him 40!
Pardon forthcoming from the big "O". Bet on it.
Finally a sentence that has retribution. Expect Blago to get around 20. Eventually someone is going to flip bigtime. Hopefully the day will come when they get our previous mob mayor and follow the chain of corruption all the way up to the white house.
I hope they send Rezko to that hell hole prision in LA. That's got to have the effect of it being an extra ten years.
Someday lil ritchie, maybe after obama's massive defeat, possibly a federal prosecutor with balls. You and your insidious crime family will get the comeuppance you so well deserve. A warning to Nora and any other future daley family members, DO NOT get into politics, you'll be lumped in with dad.
how many years did Jesse Jackson Jr get?? Oh right. None.
Taking down a Jackson, Emanuel, or Obama would be icing on the cake.

Nah he knows he will end throwing himself off a bridge while shooting himself in the head....like that other guy.
Come on- 10 1/2 years? He already has 3 1/2 years time served. He will be out in 1 1/2 - 2 years. Half sentence off for good behavior. Especially in the Land of Quinn.
He should not be the only one going into jail. He would not be offering money if the other guy at the table didn't have his hand out.
obama will pardon him soon
Nice start, now indict Rahm Emmanuel.
Well.........We all know he is guilty. The question in my mind is how could he have operated, without assistance from many well connected politicians. That being said, I can't help, but feel a little sympathy for the guy. We all know we are honest people, and would never compromise ourselves, no matter what.
Right.......?
Throw in Holder to that " select " for his cover-up of " Fast & Furious ".
I'm not impressed. The politicians are the ones who took an oath to live above this crap. He's small potatoes. If one of our many politicians who have been caught in illegal activity got this type of sentencing we'd be getting somewhere.This is a dog and pony distraction. Get those untouchables in the party, then we'll see what justice looks like.
Yeah what about the house and land tony sold to osama our great leader that is tossing our once proud country in to the toilet? No mention of that, interesting. Guess it's ok if your the guy's guy.
Heck these clown's could have all been CPD brass the way the operate, merit merit clout clout
No matter what sentence these two get osama can pardon them when he is leaving the White House.
As long as these two keep quiet and ride the storm out, I have no doubt that osama will be pardoning them.
Seriously, just a joke and a smack in the face to the legal system. Only in Crook County

Oh, yeah. Smear dirt on your face, get a tin lunch bucket, try to blend in down at the coal mine.
I love it.
Present-day reality there for those with money, though, would be more like "take up residence in a villa with a commanding view of the scenery and be interviewed on Serbian TV as a great celebrity in between organ trafficking, dealing in stolen luxury cars shipped from US, etc."
No shame. None.
I hope asshole "Blago" gets at least 20 years! The fuckin thief Politician!
Da pelon

The girls? You clearly haven't been paying attention. Have you ever seen him with a girl?
rezko time to disclose information on your yard sale for a reduced sentence
Sentanced by a judge with a pole dancer's name. How embaressing.
Blago while a crook, is nothing compared to the daleys, madigans, cullertons and burke.
he shoulda got his family out of the country...
he shoulda told it all when telling it all might have meant something.
but then again, DOJ & USAG Northern Illinois has been compromised to protect BHO by protecting shortshanks by throwing all others under the bus while sending 9.5 to guard the door to the back porch.
so...
we giggle while playing "who else would have turned up dead or missing" among the the Daley Inc., Rahm & Co. fake-assed Gold Coast & North Shore phony Maggie charity criminal-political-media cabal if Rezko named the rightfully wrong names?
it gets amusing trying to figure out who if anyone was smart enough to have several large manila envelopes stashed away waiting to be mailed to the national media outlets with large stencil on the front reading: "In the event of my unseemly/untimely demise, read and forward to the following..."
We predict Rezko gets shanked in the shower... He knows too much dirt that might be passed on to the next administration which may not be so accomodating to these fools from Chicago and their bullshit.
Too many assholes from one rotten city fucking up this country almost beyond salvaging...
They will kill him in prison to spare Obama from having to pardon him.
He knows it, and the judge knew she gave him a death sentence.
Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe the G will NOT let Blago and Rezko tell what they know, if they know anything?
Big mouth Blago who up until he was convicted was screaming to anyone who'd listen about Illinois corruption.
Gets convicted and is as quiet as a church mouse. He was told to STFU and as stupid and vain as he is he knew he,d better pipe down on all the dirt he knows.
His brother was on TV for one day yapping about JJ Jr and guess what?
He also was told to STFU.
Shit what about Daley ass
To the unpublished "Obama Mayor" guy:
That article is over a year old (from late 2010) and we don't allow reprints of entire articles - it's a copyright thing. A small sample and a link is the way to go.
Blago must be really depressed at this point. I hope the judge puts him in a dungeon for 30 years.Too bad the feds can't get Daley, Madigan and the rest of the people who have sold this entire state down the drain.
