Candidate Bears down

From the Sun-Times' Clout Corner this morning. They should have a blog because the Chicago Reader has a clout blog and so does the Tribune. This story caught my eye this morning about former Bears players helping out a judicial candidate...

Jim McMahon, Otis Wilson and Steve McMichael are scheduled to join other members of the 1985 Bears' Super Bowl winners tonight at a $250-a-head fund-raiser for Cook County Judge LaGuina Clay-Clark.

Clay-Clark is the fiancee of Bruce Herron, a Bears' linebacker in the late 1970s and early 1980s who is co-chairing her campaign.

Former Bears Richard Dent, Dan Hampton, Gary Fencik, Emery Moorehead, Jim Osborne and Brian Baschnagel also are slated to attend the 5:30 p.m. event at the Union League Club.

The other story over there is a story about Tony Rezko, who has stopped paying his property taxes.
