Chicago Dems ask Treasury to use TARP funds to bring Illinois bank 'back to life'

The Hill reports on the politically connected ShoreBank:
Illinois Democratic Reps. Bobby Rush, Danny Davis, Jesse Jackson Jr. and Jan Schakowsky wrote to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urging the department to help ShoreBank.
No word from yet on whether Jan Schakowsky's landlord Michael "Jaws" Giorango will write a letter to save ShoreBank.
