| Democratic Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias today sought to
change the subject from the controversy over his family’s struggling
Broadway Bank and accused Republican opponent Mark Kirk of overplaying
the issue.

In a luncheon speech to about 300 people at the City
Club of Chicago,
Giannoulias once again acknowledged his involvement in approving loans
that turned into bad investments for the bank, which could soon be taken
over by federal regulators.

Giannoulias, the first-term state
treasurer, instead sought to turn the heat up on Kirk, a North Shore
congressman.

    Of course, the Tribune lets himself distance himself from the bank mess and the BrightStart mess by not really investigating the issue; just repeating this headline all over its home page and its editorial board saying that its choice for the next senator hasn’t come completely clean.
