Blagojevich appoints Roland Burris to Senate

One thing that you can say about Governor Blagojevich is that he is not ashamed or afraid of looking stupid.

Duo Pinheads

[ChrisArlingtonVA]

This has nothing to with race. Republicans ALWAYS bring up the race card, in fact they are OBSESSED with race and talk about race constantly. Why is this? Republicans must be suffering from 'white guilt' due to their Southern conservative slavery/Jim Crowe past.

Was it not Burris two weeks or so ago stated that anyone chosen by the Illinois governor for the senate seat would be a tainted pick, thus being ineffective in the senate?

So what is Burris saying he is the only untainted person in Illinois?

[MrFreakyD]

If Burris isn't qualified Reid and others would have made that claim,if he's corrupt it would have been brought out and played ad nauseam. If Blago is guilty what are the charges? He's been under investigation since 2003. He's still legally the Gov.

Reid sent a letter of who he wanted appointed all white women. He didn't send a letter telling the Gov to step down or that his decision would be denied, so Reid recognized he's still in power. This is racism and political. Burris is qualified!

I do not know this man Roland Burris but he has held a real job so he way more qualified than president elect bo. My only worry is that he was picked by a democrat and every single one of them are proven crooks. Any politician should be drug tested have their bank accounts watched and be put on a lie detector tests for the sake of national security. Why should a working class man have to piss in a cup and these crack heads sellout our country.

That skinny black guy with the Coke bottle glasses is also a dumb ass. Come on man quite playing the race card game. Aint no body hanging anybody. Dude come out with something better to say. It has nothing to do with black or white. Think about it!! Isnt the the Crooked Gov that nominated Burris WHite. Come on. YOu racist FReak.

Burris say Goodbye to your political career

[koolboarder1744]

Ronald Burris is a dumb ass. He is prob a crook too. What idiot would take a seat or position given to him/her by someone under investigation. To make things worse the President elect is also telling the gov to resign. I think that pretty much sums things up.

[lumster]

The governor has not been convicted of anything and he has all the legal rights to do his job! Why should AIPAC have the right to pick all our politicians through their bribes, threats and intimidation? Blagojevich shows he has balls! He is getting my respect more and more each day!
