Latest Pajamas Media Column (’Obamazebo Reveals the Candidate’s Flawed Judgment’) Is Up; Follow-ups, Including Rezko

It’s here.

It will go up at BizzyBlog on Saturday morning (link won’t work until then) when the blackout expires.

UPDATE: A NewsBusters commenter has informed me of another interesting item relevant to the Obamazebo.

It is more than a little likely that Kenny B. Smith Jr. isn’t just some guy who just came in out of the blue.

I have been told that Mr. Smith happens to a son of the late Reverend Kenneth B. Smith. Rev. Smith, who passed away in January, was the founder of the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s South Side.  That would be the very same church that was led for 36 years by Barack Obama’s acknowledged “mentor and sounding board” (and America basher) since the late 1980s — the one, the only, now “Pastor Emeritus,” Jeremiah Wright.

Thus, it may be that the $100,000 grant that went to and was squandered by Smith was just another example of good old-fashioned Chicago-style cronyism. If so, that does nothing to remedy the candidate’s problem with flawed judgment. You could argue that it’s even worse, because he can’t even get his buds to do what they’re supposed to do with the favors showered down upon them.

UPDATE 2: Tony Rezko, a recently convicted Obama crony (actually, more like Obama’s political godfather), would be another such example writ much larger (direct YouTube link):

Instead of 100 thou with the Obamazebo, Rezko went through $100 million of government money. More here.

UPDATE 3: A bit of a sidebar — They probably shouldn’t, but some things never cease to amaze me. In this case, how can someone like Taylor Marsh, who supported Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries, flush work such as what I just linked to down the memory hole, become a shameless Obama shill, and still pretend to have a shred of self-respect?
