It might also be that Emmanuel is the one who tipped off federal investigators about Blogo trying to sell the seat .. I don't know.
But being from Illinois, what do you know about this guy ... State Sen. James DeLeo?
"DeLeo is an extremely powerful politician. You know this because he's hardly ever quoted in newspaper stories.
Emanuel and DeLeo have a relationship. Emanuel is the congressman from the 5th Congressional District, where DeLeo is the Democratic state central committeeman. What hasn't been reported on much is that Emanuel has not yet resigned from the House. And if you want to play politics in Jimmy's sandbox, you need his OK.

John Kass has emerged over the past 8 years or so as the heir apparent of Mike Royko. He 'gets' Chicago pols, the mayor hates him often going nuts at news conferences and such. It's laughable, except really none of this is funny. The machine from Chicago feeds the combine of the state, the people of Illinois are stuck with these loons. However Fitzgerald brings some hope.
BAC, did you see that Ryan apology. Gag me.
