But perhaps something will happen when the results of the Senate "Ethics Committee" investigation are released. It's likely to result in just a slap on the wrist (censure).Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-29503590693072866712009-02-18T09:53:00.000-08:002009-02-18T09:53:00.000-08:00ok AI,I'll finally concede to you.But, I'll say on...ok AI,<BR/><BR/>I'll finally concede to you.<BR/><BR/>But, I'll say only this...the Dems would be insane to push Burris out until Franken is seated.rikyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982657053583534299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-48591019301562367212009-02-18T06:24:00.000-08:002009-02-18T06:24:00.000-08:00On Point!

On Point!<BR/><BR/>It's time for Burris to STEP OFF!<BR/><BR/>I agree_this "tainted" appointment never should've been made in the first place. The Dems got PLAYED by Blago with the willing participation of Burris (who appears to be as deceptive as any other crooked politician). Blago blatantly called their bluff and they folded.<BR/><BR/>Burris should resign.Truthizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955523196532537947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-81706471617289864932009-02-17T22:57:00.000-08:002009-02-17T22:57:00.000-08:00Blago knew exactly what he was doing.By choosing B...Blago knew exactly what he was doing.<BR/><BR/>By choosing Burris and making it a "race" issue... Blago turned Burris into a trojan horse for the Democrats...someone who he knew the Dems probably could not stomach the idea of challenging. He purposefully put the Dems in a bad position.... this was the whole idea.<BR/><BR/>And through Burris, Blago is also finding continued political life (especially in the media...attention that Blago desperately wants).<BR/><BR/>Blago (in wanting to get back at Dems for trying to oust him...and perhaps to get back at national Dems like Obama who called for his ouster and wouldn't pay to play) just wanted to spread his Cancer around. Burris was the perfect vessel... (and a willing one) for enabling Blago in doing this. Blago figured... if i'm going down... I want to take as many folks as I can with me...even if it means being a liability and dead weight for the entire Party.<BR/><BR/>I particularly don't like how he used race and Black folks for this purpose... harming Blacks, their interests and their image in the process. Prominent Blacks never called him out for this manipulation. Instead...they went along with it... to the detriment of genuine Black interests. Now who pays for that? Certainly not the rich Black politicians in Chicago or in the CBC. Nope... it will be the same folks at the bottom who always have to pay the price.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-17015254706155083722009-02-17T22:10:00.000-08:002009-02-17T22:10:00.000-08:00Your post is so on point....and that creepy Burris...Your post is so on point....and that creepy Burris mausoleum tipped me off that he was the kind of dude who didn't care about ethics when it came to his ambition.<BR/><BR/>Oh Blago really knew who to pick, didn't he?MartiniCocoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509335664000215080noreply@blogger.com
