Breaking news

David Rosen, a Chicago mega-fundraiser who has raised money for Gov. Blagojevich, Attorney General Madigan and Comptroller Hynes, was acquitted in federal court today.
The former national finance director for Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign was acquitted Friday of lying to the government about a lavish 2000 Hollywood fundraising gala.

David Rosen was charged with two counts of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission about the cost of the star-studded gala, which attracted such celebrities as Cher, Melissa Ethridge, Toni Braxton, Diana Ross, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

You want to find out about corruption - or how about GENOCIDE, kids? - try checking into Congressman Jerry Weller from IL. 11th district. He's a good example of why people in other countries hate Americans.

Thank God that justice was served. David is a good man who did not deserve this.
