'Operation Board Games' besmirches both parties
John Kass
February 10, 2008
The inevitability of President Barack Obama seems all but given now, doesn't it?
Just consider those enemy tribes—the Clintonistas and the Limbaughtonians—sullen peasants on a muddy roadside, waiting for the wheels of Obama's glittering coach to spatter their homespun garments.
The media so loves Obama that he's transcending again, this time from a politician into a religion.
So if some Mt. Vesuvius were to erupt over America, preserving us in its ashen heavings, future archeologists would one day hunch down over our covered forms, and chip away until America was revealed like the Pompeian clay people, our arms outstretched, eager, waiting for Barack.
Or, maybe not.
Either way, there are a few who don't consider Obama to be inevitable. They'll be paying close attention to the upcoming federal political corruption trial in Chicago of Obama's personal real estate fairy, indicted political fixer Tony Rezko.
You'll be hearing a lot more about "Operation Board Games," but don't make the mistake of thinking that it's all about Democrats. It involves Republicans too.
.....
Sound confusing? Illinois politics is often quite muddy. Just don't think what's coming is just about the Democrats and Rezko and, by extension, Obama.
It's about Republicans in Illinois mud too.
