What’s with his twitching? He’s writhing around like Michael J. Fox! I’m not trying to be flippant, his constant movement is extremely bizarre.

Turban Durbin was just on the local news with a smug look on his face saying the seating of Burris is at an “impasse.” It was hinted by the news reader that Burris may make another trip to D.C. to see if he can be seated. I don’t know how he can’t, after the Ill. Supreme Court decision. I know from personal experience that Dem politicians HATE being in the news. I think they want this to go away asap. Not sure what the hold up is about....Maybe internal polling showing the public is not supporting Burris in the Senate. The pols are mostly concerned with public opinion...

Just read here that White has certified the Burris appointment. Someone blinked late on a Friday evening....

Blago is a typical Illinois crook......with a twist: He’s very smart and very tenacious.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take down lots of Illinois politicians with him. Some could be big names, maybe even with a last name beginning with “O”.

"This crazy scene also highlights Obozo’s incompetence...

A lot of people are wondering if Zero is dedicated radical or an incompetent. Maybe he is both. The panic in his voice over the economic situation was unnerving today.

Oh, I agree. At least that’s the most plausible. But BO wasn’t on board at first because Burris wasn’t one of his main picks. I think BO soon realized the damage that could be done by this being blown up.

I would think Federal trials could get a change of venue, but I see no reason why Blago won’t get a fair trial. It will occur in Chicago and all he needs is one sympathetic juror. That’s what he was doing yesterday, working the juror pool...

Well, then White made the decision to sign after Durbin’s presser. It seems more and more we’re having a cat fight between Illinois and Washington Democrats.

Like you, I can’t understand what the hold up was. Burris fulfilled both obligations to Reid/Durbin. He passed the Illinois House questioning, and the court ruled White’s signature was irrelevant. After that I believed White would only sign if pressed. That’s apparently happened.

The discovery phase between now and the trial (or into it) will be interesting, presuming it happens. I assume the Senate is planning to try Blago on what evidence the House had so we’ll see.

If I were a betting man, I would say the Senate will find any old flimsy issue to find him in a position to be removed. Something really benign, but enough to throw the guy out. The RATS don't want this trail to get anywhere close to the rest of the RATs nest. This will go fast and unchallenged by the RAT party in IL. Just remove him and put a lid on it. The Fitz thing is another mess, but I doubt they will be connected with impeachment. Blago probably used office petty cash to buy something that would be reason for impeachment and removal.

And BUrris was not one of his picks because:

Burris had received $5,000/m from Loop COrp

Loop Corp is run by FoO Jim Reynolds and BIL Craig Robinson

Loop Corp was part of the Pay for Play investigation in Philadelphia with Mayor Street and deceased friend White.

Burris knows too much about BO’s dealings he might accidently spill if investigated.....No investigation wanted.

When I was a teacher and a student who was in big trouble exhibited that type of behavior (rapid speaking, unfocused speech, blaming others, twitching, bad eye contact), we teachers had a word for it:

LYING!

And thank you, Arizona, for John McCain. He may not be corrupt but he’s a fake and a fraud when it comes to conservative ideals that he claims, and did us wrong this past election.

Thanks alot!

“I hope he has the goods on Obama!”

Knowing the dems he probably already woke up with a dead horse head in his bed.
