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”.
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.
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.
Thank you Illinois for such corrupt politicians - remember that Hillary Rodham grew up in Chicago as well!@ Thank God I live in Arizona and we just got rid of our Gov’ - Nepolitano (oops except she’s going to be Homeland Security Chieftain!)
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!
Knowing the dems he probably already woke up with a dead horse head in his bed.
