What on earth is wrong with Bennett? Does he have no memory of her corrupt history, along with her boyfriend and what a mess in which she was involved? Do they think none of us remember any of that? I am dumbfounded by the idiocy of these so-called republicans.
Asking Blago to appoint her to the Senate is a tacit admission that he retains the right to fill that vacancy. If he has the authority why not Burris? He is well qualified (as far as that term can be used when discussing any politician) and forcing him to appoint anyone else and having the Senate seat them would be a slap in the face to Burris and negate the Govenors constitutional power to select the appointee.
Is there a single candidate being considered in Illinois that isn’t an ignorant black liberal? Seems to me Burris is the best of the worst - least offensive of the bunch. Moseley-Braun? My God man, what are you thinking?
This is why the RNC is so impotent. Basically, there are no honest dems in Illinois; I should know, I live here not Bennett. Does he not remember the past controversy swirling around her regarding campaign spending???!!!!
More importantly (tho not to anyone in media or Washington) Burris is LEGALLY entitled to the spot. So difficult when tedious things LIKE THE LAW get in the way of politics!!!
All they would have to do is get Burris to resign the seat that is already his.
OMG... I can’t believe this isn’t satire. Bennett can’t be for real.
I FReeped her once in Richmond. Had a big sign listing some of her highlights in office. The only one I remember right now is her escapade with the Nigerian Toy Boy.
The Dims were peering at the sign through the curtains throughout their meeting with her. Most gratifying.
Is this guy getting senile?!
