WLS just broke in to say Roland Burris, a former Illinois Comptroller, has been named to the Senate by Rod.

“Smart move. If the senate doesn’t accept the appointment, they’ll be racists.”

Yep. My thoughts exactly.
Though he could have gone for the ne plus ultra of selecting a transgendered, female black with American Indian blood, who is recovering from some sort of addiction, and was of course, “abused” as a child.....
Payback to the Unions

Chicago Laborers’ Union Agrees to Unprecedented Moves
to Guarantee Integrity and Confidence in Leadership
One of the nation’s largest unions, the Laborers’ International Union of North America, was urged Friday to appoint former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to oversee administration of Chicago’s Local 1001 as part of a voluntary reform agreement. Laborers’ Local 1001 represents nearly 3,000 municipal government employees.

But not as many as Abraham Lincoln.
Regardless of the impressive career, this may be his link to Rev Jesse Jackson, or even ties to Congressman JJJr. Welfare pimping and racial blackmail have been some well-documented hallmarks of Operation PUSH and the good Rev'rund.
Nancy Pelosi, 2006 video: Pelosi on Rep. Jefferson
Pelosi: "A culture of corruption is a system in this Congress of the United States that the Republicans have instituted. The Washington Post has called it a "criminal enterprise operating out of" the Republican Leader's office. It is about all the Republican Caucus enabling their Caucus to have a strong link to the lobbying community at the expense of America's consumers. In the case of Mr. Jefferson, I think the Ethics Committee should investigate him. It is his private matter, and he should be investigated because of the stories that have been in the press and the guilty plea."
I don’t know too much about this guy but at least it’s not Jesse Jew-hatin’ Jackson Junior or that welfare queen enabler Valerie Jarrett. I guess we’ll learn more but those two need to be kept out of the senate by any means necessary.

Yes.
All the tactics employed to fan the flames of the minor Watergate burglary, will be utilized in reverse to protect Democrats and especially the annointed Zero.
Over at DU many of them seem to be perfectly okay with this. After all, he hasn’t been convicted of anything.
Sheep. Total sheep.
How many did Lincoln lose? He served in the state house for 8 years, congress for 2 terms and won president twice too.
3J has gotta be ticked off!
Yeah, that's it. Let's do away with elections and select our representatives based on their resumes and then appoint them.
Burris was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 1984
In 1994, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Illinois
In 1995, he ran for mayor of Chicago, losing to incumbent Richard M. Daley
In 1998 and 2002, he again unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party nomination for Governor of Illinois.
Eight is more than five.
So this Senate seat is now a “black Senate seat”?
Black tribalism and racism always gets a pass
And Lincoln wasn’t defeated for reelection to Congress, he gave it up because he and his rivals had a take turns in the seat deal.
my goodness, where did they find a Boy Scout in the state of Illinois....?
1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature - defeated.
1840 Sought to become elector - defeated.
These were both positions within the legislature
Even ignoring two elections, six is more than five.
I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
