“Welcome to Chicago, Mr Kurtz”
Politics as usual in Chicago:
Conservative writer Stanley Kurtz—researching an article for the National Review about connections between Barack Obama and former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers—made a big mistake.
The poor man took a wrong turn on the Chicago Way. Now he’s lost.
The relationship between the ambitious Obama and the unrepentant Ayers is a subject that excites Republicans, who haven’t really thwacked that pinata as hard as they might. It really irritates Obama and his political champion, Chicago’s sovereign lord, Mayor Richard M. Daley.
“This is a public entity,” Kurtz told us Wednesday. “I don’t understand how confidentiality of the donor would be an issue.”
You don’t understand, Mr. Kurtz? Allow me to explain. The secret is hidden in the name of the library:
The Richard J. Daley Library.
Eureka!
The Richard J. Daley Library doesn’t want nobody nobody sent. And Richard J.’s son, Shortshanks, is now the mayor.
And his fellow grubby, lying ChiDem hack is running for President, and needs his terrorist-befriending ass covered. And covered it shall certainly be, with the thickest, most odor-neutralizing blanket the Chicago machine from whence the Prince of Politics sprang can throw over the steaming, stinking pile of unsavory associations, failed “reforms,” and general systemic corruption that constitutes our Savior’s entirely underwhelming resumé.

Update! Captain Ed says it’s all futile by now, and I don’t doubt it for a second myself:
Kass notes that a release now will prove rather pointless. Daley’s people will have sanitized the records sufficiently by now that when Obama eventually demands their release, the only connection between him and Ayers will be the letterhead. The Daley machine understands its role in protecting Obama, and they’re going to make sure it gets done right.
Yep. That’s the Chicago Way, all right. And any redacted documents released now will be pointed to as proof positive that Obama’s squeaky clean. But “scrubbed” might be more the mot juste. I’d say “whitewashed,” but hey, that’d be a racist smearslurslimeattack.
