In red above the “Drudge Fold”: "Senate Democrats plan to accept Roland Burris for President-elect Barack Obama's vacant seat...”

[devane617]

Reid has created a mess for himself. This may have lasting effects...

[savedbygrace]

Can hardly wait for the spin. I need a good laugh today.

[cripplecreek]

Of course they “plan to accept him”, they have no choice in the matter.

[Sybeck1]

I thought the Bamster said no?

[ConservativeMan55]

The Bamster?

LOL is that what we’re calling him nowadays?

[joesbucks]

You're right. Blogo made a legal appointment as the governor from Illinois and barring any legal reason that Burris cannot serve, he should be installed.

Yeah, the situation stinks, but until Blogo is removed or resigns, he still gets to make the appointment.

[Rightly Biased]

So he really is “Movin on up”

“To a de-lux apartment in the Sky”

The first rule of theaters is that one makes a map of EXIT doors before entering...

[17th Miss Regt]

Well, we can’t call him ‘Bama’, can we?

[Malesherbes]

It’s been a good show, and I’m sure there will be a second act. It ain’t over ‘til Blago finishes singing.

[ALASKA]

SOMEONE is afraid of SOMETHING...............

[PurpleMan]

Not in the MSM.

[Old Professer]

Rush called him that yesterday, evokes an image of a small creature, full of energy, on a journey to nowhere and the trip just begun...

[NonValueAdded]

Yep, Harry had to save face that one day and not seat Burris with the rest of the incoming class. He won't do it but Burris should challenge all the business conducted yesterday. That would be a crummy way for him to start off but Harry deserves it.

And let's mark yesterday as the "Day That Bipartisanship Died was Murdered." Harry talks about cooperation while Nancy Pelosi hamstrings the Republican Minority with her rules changes. Talk about "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

[Sybeck1]

That something might be losing Obama seat in a special, or of course the wiretaps....

[dfwgator]

Reid is finished. I suspect they are already trying to figure out who will replace him as Majority Leader.

[Rightly Biased]

so will they let him drink out of the water fountains or use the same restroom?

Harry Reid: ‘I Don’t Work For Obama’

He does now ...
