More mortgage troubles: Congressman Bobby Rush's Michigan condo to be sold by bank Thursday

I blogged about the mortgage problems of South Side Chicago congressman Bobby Rush last week.
Well, in addition to the possibility of losing his Chicago home to the repo man, his Michigan condo, a vacation home in a gated community, is set to be sold Thursday by a Michigan bank because Congressman Rush hasn't been making payments on that mortgage either. The Chicago Sun-Times has the story here.
Yes, a gated community! Rush, a fervent supporter for slavery reparations, is a member of the House of Representative's Progressive Caucus, a far-left group dedicated to "social justice," equality and the like.
Congressman Rush has been in the local news a lot lately. Last week, in a classic case of race-baiting, Rush had this to say about Tom Dart, who is running for Sheriff of Cook County:
"Dart represents to me a kind of Klansman," Rush said. "One that don't wear a hood over the head but one that has a hood in the head."
Rush's comments on Dart were not widely publicized in the Chicago media. I came across only one person who's called on Rush to apologize for his obnoxious comments, Walter Jacobson of Fox News Chicago, according to this Pat Hickey post from the Illinoize blog.

What does his support for slavery reparations have to do with anything? Just because he has a home in a gated community he shouldn't be for slavery reparations? I don't get the logic here.
anon: i was going to make the same observation!
and walter jacobson did indeed suggest that rush owed dart an apology...
Just biographical info, anon. poster. But Rush is for "social justice." Oh, from my post last week on Congressman Rush. He's sent to Washington to manage our money, but he can't.....oh well, you understand the rest.
My favorite Rushism during his attack on Dart last week was when he was quoted on T.V. saying:
"I have nothing personal against him, I just find him repulsive."
I guess the only thing he finds more repulsive is paying his bills.
Time for Topinka to help bail out one of her close and personal Democratic friends....can she generate another job for another Rush?
