Brother Burris you gotta go…

So we found out over the weekend that Roland Burris may have lied in order to become a senator?

Really? You don’t say? If you’re surprised by Burris’ actions you clearly don’t understand greed and narcissism

As I’ve said in previous posts, Burris’ appointment was tainted from the start and we all knew that Blagojevich was pulling a fast one over the Democrats by appointing Burris.  Yet Burris’ appointment was pushed on through because senate Democrats did not want to be seen as shutting a black guy out of their all white club.

Give me a break!

I can’t begin to tell you how patronizing that act was and how disgusted I was with the Democrats for falling for that bs pulled by Burris and his cronies.  But whatever, now we find out the man is big liar and that he wasn’t entirely forthcoming on his connections to Blagojevich.

Now, I didn’t bat an eye lid at this story but what I will say is that I’m eagerly awaiting Harry Reid’s next move.

If I were in his shoes I would call Burris in for a nice chat, sit him down in my biggest comfy chair and tell him simply, ” Bro Burris you had a good run and it was great while it lasted but.. you gotta go.” Burris is no longer the highest profile senate seat warmer he’s a political liability and if senate Democrats don’t find someway of making Burris disappear into political obscurity quickly come election time they will be counting Illinois in the Republican column.

Feeling sorry for Blago..

Hear me out.

Rod Blagojevich is probably a criminal. He’s narcissistic and a  bit crazy BUT I’m starting to think that the media is  really, to use a British expression, ‘taking the mickey’ out of him.

And I know that this is probably what he wants but I can’t help it.

I know he’s the one that put himself out there nobody forced him to do these media  tours. But there’s a part of me that is starting to cringe at ‘the abuse’ he’s taking.

You know he’s started to remind me of that stray street puppy, maybe it’s the hair, that  keeps going up to people looking for love and instead of getting a few scraps of meat or a comforting pat on the head he just gets yelled at or kicked. And instead of running away from humans, the damn dog just keeps going back for more abuse day, after day, after day.  He just wants you to like him. 

That’s Blago in a sentence. He just wants America to like him.  And America just wants him to go away and he wouldn’t. So it just keeps kicking him down hoping that eventually he’ll get the point.  And the fact that he hasn’t and that he keeps showing up at the doorsteps of the media begging for a few scraps from their table is just plain pitiful.

Rod Blagojevich press conference..

 

 

Rod is blaming his impeachment on the house not wanting to give people health care and tax relief!!!

My god this man is crazy!!!

 

 

 

 

Race doesn’t matter when it comes to seating Burris..

Race is NOT an issue when it comes to seating Roland Burris as the junior Senator from Illinois at least it shouldn’t have been but obviously it has become an issue.

I guess that’s why Dick Durbin, Harry Reid and news anchors alike keep talking about it.

Just a few hours ago Dick Durbin, tried to reassure his black constituents and African Americans across the country that race isn’t the reason behind the non-seating of Burris.

He kept talking about how Burris is his long time friend and that he’s very fond of him etc etc..do you know what that sounded like to us black people and to a lot of other folks? It sounded a lot like appeasement. The irony is black people don’t want Roland Burris seated either!

But it seems that matters very little because from all appearances Burris will be seated-eventually because Reid and other Democrats don’t want to be called racist!!!

This is ridiculous. After all their tough talk all Burris had to do is show up, create a scene and then cry,  “Look, the white people don’t want to let a black man into their club,” in order to get the senate seat.

How sad. How very, very sad.

Now, it might not be as simple as that I agree but that is exactly how it appears to many in the public believe me and that to be honest doesn’t help to improve race relations in the country.

The simple fact is Roland Burris should not be seated! Period!  And his race has absolutely nothing, NOTHING, to do with it.

And the fact that he will be seated eventually simply because his appointment has been reduced to the fact that Reid et al don’t want to be seen as ‘keeping the black man out’ just goes to show that we haven’t really moved that far along to creating that post racial society we kept talking about during the 2008 campaign and had really hoped Obama’s win had showcased.

It’s a pity.
