More Rezko Tunes

Feds confirm Rezko's chatting per today's ST,

Federal prosecutors asked a judge Monday to indefinitely postpone Tony Rezko's scheduled Oct. 28 sentencing on corruption charges, acknowledging they are engaged in talks with the former top political fund-raiser for Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Blagojevich and others "that could affect . . . sentencing."
....and ST's Korecki concludes,
If a judge agrees to delay Rezko's sentencing, it could be good news for Democratic presidential nominee Obama because the former Obama friend and fund-raiser was set to be sentenced just days before the Nov. 4 election.
Some good news...

Update: Also at the Trib

Update: Like a tune you can't get out of your head, Rezko's tune travels: HillBuzz, and Israpundit (who takes a shot at bald guys from Chicago..I'm ticked)
If Tony Rezko were young, blonde and disappeared on a Caribbean Island, Greta Van Sustern would have been all over the Rezko trial. And that very particular Chicago definition of ‘clout’ would have been ingrained in everyone’s lexicon.

But Tony (Antoin) Rezko is simply another middle-aged, bald, Chicago developer who was involved in an influence peddling and kick-back scheme that was connected to a number of politicians, a couple of pension funds, an Iraqi businessman (prepared to upfront millions for bail) and, oh yes, Senator Barack Obama. A jury hit Tony with a conviction on sixteen felony counts out of twenty four in the indictment.

The money trail goes back to Syria and to the Gulf states.
The Emir of Kuwait
the Sultan of Oman
and con artist Tony Rezko

Blagojevich is definitely going to jail.
However, Obama may not get indicted and the media has been easy on him vis a vis this sentencing issue.
