Schakowsky's felon husband looks back on prison life

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's crooked husband, observing a year since being released from the slammer, says from his "insider's view" that "everyone wants the time to pass."

Felon husband Robert Creamer (pictured) served time in 2006 for tax evasion and bank fraud. (A tame story in the Chicago Sun-Times says Creamer was guilty only of "writing bad checks.")

Among Mr. Schakowsky-Creamer's observations: "Even though all of the inmates are men, there is no nakedness in your sleeping area or washrooms. The norm is to change your pants in the privacy of a shower stall."

Happy anniversary, Rep. Schakowsky!

Today marks a happy anniversary for Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, the Illinois Democrat who's best known for her crusade against Blackwater.

On this day one year ago, Schakowsky's husband, Robert Creamer, was released from the Federal Correction Institute at Terre Haute, Indiana (pictured), where he served a prison term for felony tax evasion and bank fraud.

Durbin wrote on behalf of Schakowsky's tax cheat felon husband

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is demanding a federal probe of Blackwater on alleged tax evasion charges - but he interceded for a real tax cheat who was convicted in court and served prison time.

The convict, liberal political activist Robert Creamer, is the husband of Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), considered one of the most shrill anti-Blackwater critics on Capitol Hill.

Schakowsky reportedly signed the fraudulent tax returns that her husband illegally filed.

Bloggers comment on Schakowsky tax fraud issue:
"Schakowsky ire phony as kited checks"
"More Dem corruption"
"A hero of the common man"
"Checks and balances for Seals"

Why Rep. Schakowsky is so quiet about Waxman's Blackwater tax allegation

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a leader of the anti-Blackwater foil hat conspiracy set, is conspicuously quiet about Congressman Henry Waxman's allegation that our favorite company evaded taxes.

And that's unusual, because Schakowsky (pictured) seldom wastes an opportunity to rake Blackwater over the coals.

Why is Schakowsky so quiet? Could it be because her husband is a convicted felon who spent time in federal prison for bank fraud and tax evasion?

Mr. Schakowsky, known as Robert Creamer, was accused of swindling banks for $2.3 million, and for evading federal taxes. He pleaded guilty to bank fraud and tax evasion in 2005 and was sentenced to 5 months in federal prison and 11 months house arrest in 2006.

Is convicted felon tied to Obama's call for Blackwater probe?

It's well established that a trial lawyer, who plans to make millions of dollars suing Blackwater, is the instigator of Congressman Henry Waxman's hearings in the House.

So who instigated Senator Barack Hussein Obama's call for Senate hearings to beat up the company that protects our diplomats in Iraq?

Might it be his campaign supporter, convicted felon Robert Creamer? Creamer is the husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky, the anti-Blackwater activist. He worked for the Barack Obama presidential campaign to train young political activists after serving time in federal prison for bank fraud and tax evasion.

Is it a pure coincidence, then, that Obama is the first US senator to call for a Senate investigation of the Blackwater guys who protect our diplomats in Iraq? Could Obama's call for an inquiry be motivated by a convicted felon?
