They didn’t fold because they knew the first bailout was doomed. They lost that vote.

I excoriated Reid for refusing to accept Burris; now I’ll castigate Reid for folding like a cheap suit. You can’t win with me, Harry. I’m as feckless as a Democrat!

Feckless and honest.

“Do you know why the other parties on these tapes aren’t entitled to copies?”

Blago is the only party being prosescuted. Therefore he’s the only party entitled to the prosecution’s evidence.

“Also, one would think that Blago is still being watched and listened to so he’ll have to be even sneakier in trying to use that information.”

Most definitely.

The Rats caved on the Burris nomination because Blago was going to take down a lot of people with him, if they kept pushing. The feds have Emanuel on tape, telling Blago to go with the SEIU deal because that would have the fewest Obama fingerprints on it. The SEIU is going to be the basis for a lot of Obama legislation and bail-out money.

Fitzpatrick already agreed to push back the hearings until April to give this time to die down. Then Reid opened it all up again. Stupid is as stupid does.

>>he can’t do this.

Don’t matter, he’s trying to save face, after all, Feinstein got a hair across her butt and came out for seating Burris after being dissed by Obie on Panetta.

Lawdy, Dawg, lookit the bright side.

3 Scandals, a Cabinet appointee folds, and a mess about his, Obie’s, barely warmed Senate seat.

Look how he’s folded so quick on everything, jettisoning anyone and anybody under the bus. Blago, his own seat, resigning before the end of the session, unlike Clinton or Biden.

Blago got tossed on a dubious indictment (Fitzie now wants 3 more months, why bust Blago with handcuffs at home at 6 AM then), Obama didn’t want Burris in the seat or didn’t come out strongly for him, vacillating and crawdaddying again IMO, despite the much vaunted skilful, savvy pragmatism touted by his touts.

Richardson got tossed without as much of a nice knowingya. Ya think the Clintons got their revenge on him after Bill Clinton kissed his arse publicly on TV seeking his endorsement?

Obie’s gonna fold on Burris, the spectacle of a black man denied his rightful Senate seat doesn’t reflect well on the new postracial ObamaTime.

Man, this is far more entertaining that I envisioned.

And we got two more weeks til the swearing in.

Whichever one they said yes to, when the constituency was screaming no. I’ve lost count.

Perhaps, but the Dems in the Senate swore up and down that they wouldn’t accept a Blago pick. The Dems in Illinois were trying to prevent a Blago pick. So now they accept the Blago pick, because Burris is black and a nice guy.

“Blago is the only party being prosescuted. Therefore he’s the only party entitled to the prosecution’s evidence.”

Thanks for the explanation. I’d hate to be one who had spoken to him and was taped. Bet there’s an awful lot of nervous people around Blago right now.

LOL! Exactly- like a junkie. Was just telling another FRiend I had to detox for awhile ;)

That our country has elected Obama as our president is still a shock to my system- my brain keeps striving to have it become a logical fact- fails miserably!

This will work out as Burris will be fairly easy for a Republican to beat in the next election. That is actually the MAIN reason the Dems didn't want him to get it. He is a serial loser in Illinois.

By the time election day gets here, Roland Burris will have been transformed into the 'conscience of the Senate' hailed as one of the 'great voices of freedom' by the lamestream media and it will be virtually impossible for him to lose, just you wait and see.

I think Reid got a call from Obama... ring-a-ling ding-ding: “Hey Dingy.. you’ll hear from me after Jan. 20th.”

Dittos on the news stuff. I can’t stand to watch them anymore. They are nothing more than court jesters for Obama.
