Fake scandal alert: Obama and Rezko

With her campaign in desperation mode, Hillary Clinton keeps pushing the notion that rival Barack Obama's past ties to Tony Rezko indicate wrong-doing. The two were involved in a land deal that Obama has called "boneheaded" on his part. Rezko also donated campaign money to Obama in the past. Obama has since returned the money or donated it to charity.

Of all people, one would think the Clinton's would be the last people to cast such stones. If one word comes to mind thinking of the 90's it would be Whitewater. And then there's all the shady players who have donated to their campaigns through the years. Norman Hsu, anyone?

Glenn Greenwald at Salon takes a look at the Rezko-Obama "scandal" and finds it to be much ado about nothing.
