Blowback on Rezko to Hillary, at Drudge with pix. [Yes, it's a classic pose-with-donor pix.] Hillary: "I don't remember meeting Rezko". Look, the Dems are incestuous (and glitzy socialist in name only socialites) with their "affordable" housing slumlord scams, government subsidies to politically-connected developers who then turn around and donate to their campaigns and their personal real estate. (Sometimes they push eminent domain, but usually they don't need to.) The real estate guys get the upfront fees and the buildings fall apart, leaving tenants living in squalor.UPDATE: We also have courtesty of Dan at Reverse Spin, who has been dogging this story, Hillary's dubious donations from International Profit Associates, a firm being investigated for sexual harassment (what say Hillary, are you going to defend this one too?) and fraud, and whose lawyer was mentioned in the Rezko indictment. IPA has also donated to Democrat Attorneys General around the country. Gee I wonder why.
UPDATE: Sun Times on Hillary's Today show appearance:
Clinton said she did not remember taking the picture and said she doesn't even remember meeting Rezko.
"I've probably taken hundreds of thousands of pictures," Clinton said. "I don't know the man, I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door, I don't have a 17-year-relationship with him."
Earlier this week, Clinton questioned Obama's relationship with Rezko, who is facing a Feb. 25 federal criminal trial in Chicago on public corruption and fraud charges involving state of Illinois teacher pension funds.
Well, Hillary's an expert on expedient relationships. Also 8 things you need to know about Obama-Rezko. Yahoo: Whitewater v. Rezko: The Battle of the Billing Records. Enjoy.
UPDATE: RCP Blog, Clinton and Rezko. They have the clip.
UPDATE: Marathon Pundit has more on Myron Cherry, the lawyer mentioned in the Rezko indictment, Individual H and link to a pix of him with Bill Clinton. The Rogue's gallery.
