No wonder he said yes. He wants to fill in the top line(s). But it’s sort of prophetic he left room for top lines. Maybe Burris is the real magic negro!
The main question by far is did he have any prior conversations with Blag or his staff, back when the tapes were running.
My folks planned ahead...well I should say my dad did. But his marker is nothing like this..it is a regular head stone with the last name in bold large letters and then in smaller letters his name and mom’s. They are both now residing there. Actually, as goolish as it may sound, when they passed away ( with 5 years and two weeks between them) for us kids it was a blessing not to have to decide what kind of marker to have..Dad took care of business. And I miss them both..dad is gone 8 years and mom 14, both in Nov..one on Veteran’s Day and the other Thanksgiving Day.
Oh, I forgot one thing..my dad was born in Rantoul, IL..Could this be an Il thing?
“The main question by far is did he have any prior conversations with Blag or his staff, back when the tapes were running.”
My guess is not. Burris is probably as close to being honest as it is possible for an Illinois Democrat to be.
Wow, this is quite a fancy mausoleum. All that’s missing is a poster with his image.
Where are the vestal virgins and the eternal flame ?
Maybe he is just insecure - afraid he will be taken for granite.
And here we thought Princess Caroline was vain...
Shoot. I think I like the guy. He appears to be a loose cannon.
This is creepy.
Reinforces his image as an egoist.
This empty suit is an older version of Zero, what with his fake presidential seal, and his "Office of the President-Elect" podium sign, and his Greek columns. No wonder Barry came out yesterday and denounced his appointment!
One thing good comes out of this for rural Illinois folks, the price of (pop)corn futures is going to go up!
Doubtlessly he looks at Obama with great envy. “I should have been me! I’m actually qualified.”
Isn't a lack of humility a prerequisite for the Senate?
Who paid for this monstrosity and why?
Are Illinois government officials now or have they ever been reimbursed with tax payer dollars for sad travesties such as this?
My guess would be either Blago style cash or a deadline for ending a program that supplied egomaniacs like Burris the wherewithal for such pompous waste.
I thought the missus had passed on too, so there was some excuse for this double tomb, but on closer inspection, those appear to be degrees, not dates on hers, RN? and PhD.
