Rezko trial uncovers drug-fueled party days: “For those of you following the US political race you might know about Tony Rezko, a Chicago political fundraiser linked to the Obama campaign, and his ongoing fraud trial. What you may not know is that his partner in crime, Stuart P. Levine, was a first-class head who liked to party down at drug orgies, as recent court testimony confirms:

Levine focused a harsh spotlight on decades of taking marijuana, cocaine, quaaludes, LSD, Ecstasy, crystal methamphetamine and ketamine, which goes under the street name Special K.

He said he took the drugs once or twice a month, mainly at parties with unspecified male friends. They brought the drugs and he would buy, often paying about $1,000, he said.

When in town, the parties would often take place in a suburban rendezvous ‘that came to be known as the purple hotel,’ Levine testified.

…

Levine testified that his parties started in the morning and lasted until evening when he would go home as if he’d spent a hard day at the office.

‘To deceive my family,’ he testified.

Gosh, that doesn’t sound familiar at all. At least he picked the good drugs.
