"Topical Paradise" by Darel Jevens,
Chicago Sun-Times, April 6, 2008
Vice President Tony Rezko is asked: How did you get into office so fast? A day ago he was in prison, and already the new commander-in-chief has granted him a pardon, muscled out the elected VP and installed Rezko in the Obama administration.
“Obama’s wanted to pardon me his whole life,” the Chicago influence-peddler explains. “He just couldn’t do it till he was president.”
Even Hillary Clinton hasn’t posed a scenario that ludicrous. But nothing’s too farfetched for the imaginative minds of “Whirled News Tonight,” one of several comedy shows now dissecting the news for Chicago audiences.
