How about Clout U.?
June 21, 2009

Excerpt:

University of Illinois President B. Joseph White thinks it’s a cheap shot for us to call his school “Rezko U.” Federal prosecutors apparently don’t.

U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald wants to see records of communication between campus officials and ex- Gov. Rod Blagojevich or his cronies — Antoin “Tony” Rezko, William Cellini, Chris Kelly and Alonzo “Lon” Monk — related to applications for admission to the university.

Rezko is in prison for taking kickbacks in exchange for state contracts;

*snip*

The subpoena follows a Tribune report that one of Rezko’s relatives got into the U. of I. after Blagojevich asked White to intervene. Never mind that the applicant’s ACT score was “pretty low,” to quote the admissions official who got big-footed on the deal.

After much sober reflection, though, we’re beginning to wonder if the name “Rezko U.” really is unfair — to Rezko. Why single him out? The Tribune investigation found that more than 100 current and former lawmakers used their political muscle to give applicants an edge.

MICHELLE OBAMA ON “COURT ORDERED INACTIVE STATUS”
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 12/26/2008 | Free America

First off, the biggest ass-kissing media refers to Michelle Obama as a ‘distinguished attorney” despite the fact that Michelle Obama has been”inactive” since 1993.
