I blogged about the mortgage problems of South Side Chicago congressman Bobby Rush last week.
Well, in addition to the possibility of losing his Chicago home to the repo man, his Michigan condo, a vacation home in a gated community, is set to be sold Thursday by a Michigan bank because Congressman Rush hasn't been making payments on that mortgage either. The Chicago Sun-Times has the story here.
Yes, a gated community! Rush, a fervent supporter for slavery reparations, is a member of the House of Representative's Progressive Caucus, a far-left group dedicated to "social justice," equality and the like.
Congressman Rush has been in the local news a lot lately. Last week, in a classic case of race-baiting, Rush had this to say about Tom Dart, who is running for Sheriff of Cook County:
"Dart represents to me a kind of Klansman," Rush said. "One that don't wear a hood over the head but one that has a hood in the head."
Rush's comments on Dart were not widely publicized in the Chicago media. I came across only one person who's called on Rush to apologize for his obnoxious comments, Walter Jacobson of Fox News Chicago, according to this Pat Hickey post from the Illinoize blog.
