Bwahahahaha!

Let the circus continue!

But as Burris made his way from Chicago to Washington on Monday, Reid took a softer line. “Of course, Roland Burris has not been certified by the state of Illinois,” he said. “When that takes place, we of course will review it. At this stage, we’re waiting to see what’ll happen in Illinois.”

What a wimp!

Governor Blagojevich should’ve appointed a poor, disabled Native American, left-handed, lesbian, union member, soccer mom, to President-elect Obama’s old seat. I don’t feel that he checked off enough boxes with Mr. Burris.

In contrast to his wait-and-see approach with Burris, Reid said Monday that “Norm Coleman will never, ever serve [again] in the Senate.”

What brought this statement on?  It appears to me that Senator Reid is the one who is not qualified to be in the Senate, let alone the majority leader. What an amusing statement. I guess he's put all those citizens in Minnesota on notice, that he, Harry Reid, will be the arbiter of Minnesota Senators.

Is Harry Reid the organ grinder or the monkey? What a circus.

[DesertDreamer]

LOL! Reid just got punked by Blag & Co.

[gridlock]

Reid is acting as if his word is law. I think he really does believe this is true.

I hope Burris gets seated, just to get under his skin.

[gridlock]

Harry Reid has done huge damage to himself because he can’t stand to shut his pie hole and see how things play out. Instead, when somebody stick a microphone in his face, he says whatever fool thing pops into his head.

[burroak]

“I am the junior senator from Illinois, and I wish my colleagues in the press would recognize that. All the drama — I guess it keeps you all in a job.”

Colleagues, indeed. If anyone needs support for the DEM/MSM bed buddy theory, this seems to be it. Or, do I just not know what a colleague is?

“Governor Blagojevich should’ve appointed a poor, disabled Native American, left-handed, lesbian, union member, soccer mom, to President-elect Obama’s old seat. I don’t feel that he checked off enough boxes with Mr. Burris.”

And Jewish.

[mvpel]

FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!

[Non-Sequitur]

"Of course, Roland Burris has not been certified by the state of Illinois,”

Whoopie. Al Franken has not been certified by the state of Minnesota. You going to refuse to seat him too?

[dforest]

Burris will be seated. Pinky Reid doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

[Non-Sequitur]

Is Harry Reid the organ grinder or the monkey?

If Harry wants to be the center of attention then he'd better watch out around Burris. People who happened to be standing between Roland and the spotlight have been known to be trampled near to death.

[saganite]

Proof if you ever needed it that racial politics trumps ethics. Luckily, this time it’s the Dems taking a little of their own medicine.

[PGalt]

Harry POS Reid BUMP!

[count-your-change]

See the picture in post #11. It may look like hockey but actually it's colleagues discussing who shall be seated.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Reid took a softer line. “Of course, Roland Burris has not been certified by the state of Illinois,” he said. “When that takes place, we of course will review it. At this stage, we’re waiting to see what’ll happen in Illinois.”

"Of course" is to Reid, what "you know" is to Princes Caroline.

[chainsaw]

I said before the dems will have a hard time not seating Burris. If they reject Burris, they will force a special election and lose the seat to a republican. Heaven forbid.</sarccasm>

Harry Reid is a moron motor mouth.

[exit82]

Asked whether there was any chance that Burris will be seated, Reid said, “Listen, let’s just deal with reality, not with hypotheticals.”

Here's some reality, Dingy boy. You are the WORST Senate majority leader of all time. Plus you are a miserable, corrupt human being. That's the reality.

Gee, I wonder what Harry DID say on that phone call to Blago. Hmmmmmmmm........................
