During Mondays Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton referred to Barack Obama supporter Tony Rezko as a "slum landlord." Now a photo has surfaced showing Hillary with that very same Rezko.
The photo which shows real estate developer and fast-food magnate Rezko standing between Bill and Hillary Clinton appeared Friday morning on the Drudge Report Web site.
Here's the link on Newsmax.com: http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/Slum_Landlord_Pic_Clinton/2008/01/25/67404.html
You know that Bill knows lots of women...er PEOPLE that Hillary has never met or has just met in passing. Like Juanita Broderick, when Hillary met her at a function, she thanked Juanita for everything she had done for her and her husband. She liked Juanita so much, she wouldn’t give her hand back. Juanita said she got a cold chill down her spine with those words.
She doesn’t remember Rezco. I wonder if she remembers REFCO?

These Grifters have GOT to go. Hopefully her denial of knowing Rezko will be blown out of the water in something ELSE being unearthed showing that she DOES in fact know him...and know him pretty well.
Maybe Alzheimer’s is starting at an early age.
REFCO was taken to Ft. Marcy Park in advance of the IPO, then...
Guy, I just got a chill in you mentioning that. I had forgotten about it. Super creepy. The Clintons are pyscho.
No one's equating the two but for the scumbag clintoons to call someone a "slumlord' or any derogatory name is beyond the pale.
Arrogant.
It’s the public they think is stupid. They think that if they repeat “we don’t recall” enough times, the public will believe them
Sadly, sometimes they are right.
The Clintons have perfected the PT Barnum method of campaigning.
Then email them to the Obama campaign and sit back with the popcorn..
"Issssn't sheeeee, preeeeeeetty innnnnnnn piiiiiiink?"
The Clintons served in the White House with a slumlord named Al Gore Jr. Remember the scandal that broke with one of his tenants after Al left the VP office?
Existing thread.
The Bush-Lied crowd have other ways of disavowing this relationship. They just have to proclaim the photo a fake:
But she did enough research to dig up his name and a link to Obama and tossed it in Obama's face as them being best buddies in cahoots against the "oppressed, little people."
Good point...thanks for pointing that out to me.
Knowing the Clintons, she brought it up in the debates so they (Clintons) could release the picture a few days before SC and she can get free air time.
Rezko is, in fact, a slumlord.
The Clintons scandals are huge, but don’t let the Obama campaign blunt the criticism of real scandal with a photograph.
In other words don’t conflate the two - - Clinton and Obama are both corrupt - - you want to argue about degrees of corruptness.
Damn them both.
IIRC, that was after he tossed up the WalMart board of directors to her. You have to dig up anything you canon your opponent, most of it, like this picture, are meaningless "gotchas" that never go anywhere.
You know the truth is that every politician takes pictures with thousands of people, most they have never met before, and will never see again.
The pictures of Jack Abramoff in the White house with the President are a real good example of how this can't hold water.
Now, pictures of him in casual conversation, or riding in a car with her would bring a lot more weight in my opinion.
The point is; if she can have her staff dig up something on her opponent, she should also have them make damn sure that they aren't going to put her in a position of slinging mud into a strong headwind.
Clinton's machine and she herself, put her downwind of her smear.
