Flashback: Congresscritter Schakowsky on Blago

Earlier this month my far-left congresscritter, Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston), received national attention after she called the Nationwide Tax Day Tea Parties "shameful" and "disgraceful."

Illinois' indicted ex-governor, Rod Blagojevich, is surely disgraceful and shameful.

Here's what Schakowsky said about her fellow Democrat in 2006:

We do have a working relationship, and we have a long-standing friendship... I agree with him on his priority of health care and applaud him for the work he has done as the health care governor.

Blago was impeached for his health care policy abuses.

And...

For tomorrows primary election, here are the candidates in contested races that I am supporting...Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Schakowsky's husband, ex-con Robert Creamer, was a top Blago campaign staffer in 2002.

Hat tip: ...With Both Hands.
