A federal judge has postponed the sentencing of convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko by nearly two months, pushing his sentencing hearing back to Oct. 28 -- one week before the presidential election.

2. You mean the whole Rezko mess that has nothing to do with Obama?
That trial where Obama was never called in to testify, as freepers and PUMAs were hoping?
Rezko didn't work for Hillary Clinton, and it won't work for John McCain.

3. The judge is a Bush appointee. Whatta shock!!
Guess this is the October Surprise. Never mind that it may have little or no relevance. It'll be "All-Rezko All the Time" in the days leading up to the election. Count on it.
I think this is going to pale in comparison with the Great Discombobulation.
The sparkling husband primitive tries to be stupidly French on us, but ends up just looking stupid, not French:

Rezko's ties to Obama are just starting to rise to the surface. This is just the warm-up.
