Poor Burris has no chance of going anywhere.

It's absolute and total denial..

Plus..there is starting to be a buzz that he will get off. His attorney is big time and is trying to get all the tapes thrown out as inadmissable, etc...not that it will happen, but this is not a slam dunk by any means

Ever known anyone arrogant that wasn't in denial?

Do you think Burris was anywhere on Blagaodofasfhd's short list of candidates to fill this seat originally, or is this the race card really being thrown into play?

The guy (Burris) has about as an impeccable and respected past as anyone. Considering the only one to come forward in support is Bobby Rush, this is totally the race card. Just surprised I guess ( why I don't know) that Burris would ever take part in this charade

It's so awesome. In such a sad way...but still kind of awesome, because it's just become so mindblowing.

obama said after the announcement he's in agreement with senate democrats that no one blago appoints should be seated.

i heard the press conference on the radio driving to lunch. is bobby rush 90 years old or just permanently drunk? he sounded like someone trying to hide the fact he's had 4 shots and a six pack.

If you go on pure legal grounds and forget right and wrong, I'm not sure how they can deny him this seat eventually.

Kinda hard to use those phrases in the same sentence with Illinois politics.

Well...innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't been impeached and a special election wasn't called. The IL Constitution says the Guv appoints the Senate seat...again..I KNOW, but...legally...They have to get him impeached or convicted to block Burris in the long run, IMO.


and before I get the bleeding heart liberal reply, that is not my opinion of how it SHOULD be handled. Absolutely that appointment is a big FU at the voters and the State and is tainted beyond repair. I'm just looking at it from a legal standpoint

I understand with what you are saying...and agree whole heartedly. It's just amazing the mess that has been made of this whole scenario.


Where you able to type "right and wrong" in your previous post with a straight face...knowing full aware that we are discussing your states political f*ckedupedness??

What sucks is there are a lot of good politicians here ( yes..I did just say that) who are swept up in this guilt by association because of this a-hole and others like him. Certainly Illinios, and Chicago specifically, leaves a lot to be desired politically, but being an honest Dem or Repub and introducing yourself as the Senator or Representative from Illinois ain't much fun these days.

Scavs for City Council??

the guy that was named, is he a valid selection? would hate to see the fact that he was named by a jackass be what keeps him out, if he otherwise is a good choice.
