"Rezko convicted of corruption" from the Chicago Tribune reports that Barack Obama funder and friend Tony Rezko has been convicted of 16 of the 24 charges against him - and should be doing big time in the big house - though not as big as the house he scored for Barack Obama. It also tarnishes Governor Blagojevich who had Rezko in his political circle.

Rezko's guilty verdict on 16 of 24 corruption counts could have broad repercussions for Blagojevich, who made Rezko a central player in his cabinet. It could also prove a political liability for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, who once counted Rezko as a friend and fundraiser, as the likely Democratic presidential nominee heads into the general election campaign against Republican John McCain.
