Besides the $38,000 Antoin "Tony" Rezko gave Lisa Madigan, the close to $80K he's given Barack Obama over the years, and the campaign cash he's pushed towards Rod Blagojevich, he's also has been very generous to other friends in high places.
Take, for instance, Blagojevich's Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity director Jack Lavin, who, according to a 2006 Chicago Sun Times' story, was for a while CFO of Rezko Enterprises, overseeing the Panda Express food chain.
That's only scratching the surface, folks. Tony Rezko's been accused of lots and lots of things over the years. Read Ray Hanania's excellent synopsis of Rezko and his shady dealings here.
The more you read about this guy, the sleazier he gets and the deeper and broader his rotten political roots spread. (See more of Rezko's political contributions below the fold.)
Antoin "Tony" Rezko could very easily be Illinois Democrats' Jack Abramhoff.
Think any Republicans will jump on that free ride?
