What could have been big news today...Rezko sentencing

Blogging from the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Center St. Paul, Minnesota.

Originally today was the day that convicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko was to be sentenced at a federal court in Chicago.

For the uninitiated, Rezko was Obama's first political sponsor, and the Chicago North Shore businessman offered the future senator a job while he still in law school.

Since some people on the other side of the political fence were claiming a few days ago that Hurricane Gustav was proof that God was a Democrat, I might as well have fun with this one--Rezko's sentencing will now take place on October 28--one week before a Election Day.

Seriously, it was Rezko's lawyers who requested the extra time.
