“What’s wrong with this picture: a qualified, trailblazing Afro-American is denied a Senate seat by Democrats. But an unqualified Caucasian with poor speaking skills (Caroline Kennedy) is extolled by Democrats as frontrunner for another Senate seat.”
We need to pound this statement to the masses and expose the Democrats for the racists they really are. Half black President or not.

As a person that has been entertained by Illinois politics for years, i’m glad the rest of the country is now able to join in the fun.

"Even so, Burris says it is correct to address him as "Senator," because the governor has signed a letter of appointment, making his selection valid." How much you want to bet he is having the mausoleum engraved as we speak?

Sheets are what the Democrats wore, Fire Hoses are what they used, in the manner of Bull Connor, to keep the blacks out. If you don't know who the great Democrat Bull Connor was, do a search.
You must not know your American history, short version -- The KKK was formed after the civil war, around 1870 as the terrorist wing of the Democrat party, then came the Democrat party’s segregation and Jim Crow laws. In the meantime, the Democrats used to conduct summary lynchings of blacks and whites to keep everyone in line -- Vote Democrat or else. For a modern model, think PLO, their terror wing and their political wing. Predates, but works fine for the Democrat's KKK model.
Forgot there might be some here that are too young to know.

I was thinking Barney FranklymydearI’dontgiveadamnwhohastopayforthemortgageyoucan’taffordjusttakethishousedammit, but I think he’s “Hot Bottom”. Either that, or the male prostitute who was running his business out of Barney’s DC playhouse had that moniker.

Reid, Durbin, and the rest of the white Democrats need to be portrayed as modern day George Wallaces standing in the way of the only black Senator to be seated.
If the GOP leaders were smart(DUHHH!) they could have a political field day with this one.
If anyone finds some testicles for the GOP Senators, please send them to Mitch McConnell.

The Illinois ‘Rats have only themselves to blame. They could have called for a special election for the Senate seat but didn’t, out of fear of the seat going to a Repub. Now we get to watch the entertainment...

So, if they can’t block him legally, they’re gonna bully him out of the Senate?
To: Libloather
Top Senate Democrats still say they intend to block Burris' appointment. . . Who knew the democrats could be this much fun?

What's wrong with this picture: a qualified, trailblazing Afro-American is denied a Senate seat by Democrats. But an unqualified Caucasian with poor speaking skills (Caroline Kennedy) is extolled by Democrats as frontrunner for another Senate seat.That is an excellent observation. I would just add the word "white" in front of "Democrats".

If Burris is blockaded, perhaps he'll organize a sit in.
I can hear them singing "We Shall Overcome", arms interlocked.

This is getting FUN! I can't wait for the circus in DC to start....these people are fools.
Probably been mentioned on another thread, but right now the Dem's nightmare scenario is that Blago shows up to "escort" Burris onto the floor.
According to Senate Rules sitting Governors have full access privs to the Senate floor. They can't hold the floor speak, but they can't be denied entry either.
To: Libloather
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY? Guess to DemoRats, that principal applies only as long as it suits their purpose.
Lt. Gov Quin has been quoted as saying (paraphrase) "Blago is going to be impeached and he WILL BE FOUND GUILTY"!
I think its time to stock up on copious amounts of adult beverages and sundry other snacks as this is about to get good.
GO BLAGO, GIVE THE RATS HELL!!!
