Must really stop by the site and view the photo's...very interesting...


Only a few short days ago, on March 21, 2008, RezkoWatch updated an article about the April 3, 2004, reception dinner held in honor of Iraqi-British billionaire businessman Nadhmi Auchi. The function, arranged by indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who, at the time, was in hopes of attracting Auchi to invest in a 62-acre Chicago development, was hosted by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. One of the attendees was Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (right rear), who had his picture taken with Auchi (left rear).

On March 24, 2008, the Detroit Free Press reported that "Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and former chief of staff Christine Beatty today with perjury, obstruction, conspiracy and misconduct."




Kilpatrick is a Michigan superdelegate for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and, like Obama, his photograph recently graced the cover of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ magazine, The Trumpet. (h/t Gateway Pundit)



And National of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's photograph was published on the cover of the November/December 2007 double issue. On February 24, 2008, Farrakhan said that Obama is "the 'hope of the entire world' that the U.S. will change for the better." (h/t pm)

(((From Earlier Today::)))
Meeks is pastor of Chicago's 20,000-member Salem Baptist Church; an Illinois Senator and superdelegate "pledged to Obama"; "has served as an executive vice president for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH organization"; and "has reportedly campaigned for Obama and allowed Obama to campaign at his church" in May 2006, as well as "during the presidential candidate's 2004 senatorial run". A "recent Meeks endorsement of Obama is touted on the presidential candidate's campaign website," Klein wrote.

1. Technically, Kilpatrick isn't a Superdelegate.

No delegates from MI count, as of right now.

2. Uh Oh District Court Rules Judicial Watch May Conduct Discovery into Clinton Library

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that U.S. District Judge James Robertson granted Judicial Watch’s motion to conduct discovery into the procedures used by the National Archives and Records Administration’s to process its requests for records at the Clinton Library. . The National Archives has requested, in effect, an indefinite stay in Judicial Watch’s lawsuit to obtain Hillary Clinton’s records, estimating in court documents that it will take “one to two years” to begin processing Hillary’s telephone logs.

According to Judicial Watch’s Motion for Limited Discovery, filed on March 17, 2008: “Defendant’s failure to properly respond to Plaintiff’s FOIA request raises significant questions of fact…A full and complete understanding of the Library’s ‘queue’ system, and position in the queue, is necessary before any request for a stay can be adjudicated by the Court. Plaintiff respectfully suggests that the answers to these questions, if is permitted to obtain them through limited discovery, would be in the public interest as well as its own.”

The Clinton Presidential Library, which is operated by the National Archives and Records Administration, has established a complex 17-part queue structure for processing Hillary’s White House records that has placed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to unidentified flying objects (UFO’s), for example, ahead of timelier public interest requests. Moreover, the Library, in essence, has admitted in its court filings that it wildly underestimated the public’s interest in the records, was woefully unprepared when it started receiving FOIA requests, and remains understaffed and entirely unable to comply with its statutory responsibilities.

After a government lawyer for the Archives explained its confusing queue system in court today, Judge Robertson told Judicial Watch Director of Litigation Paul Orfanedes, “You have your discovery.”

“The Clinton Library now will have to answer questions under oath about how it is handling (or not handling) requests for the Clinton records. The American people deserve to know how and why these records are not being processed and released in accordance with the law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “National Archives officials should get their act together and do their job, instead of complaining of how much work they have to do.”

4. Hey Guys - this is a very right wing group

In 2004, they went to court to press an investigation of the process by which Kerry got his medals - it backfired in that the Navy issued a statement - after looking into to it - that all the medals were properly awarded. (This doesn't stop them in thinking it was a cover up - these guys are crazy.)
