Unseat Senator Roland Burris

We all understand why Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) hasn’t resigned but why haven’t the Democrats found a way to unseat him? 

Hopefully, with the release of the FBI wiretap tapes  Democrats, maybe even President Obama, can now persuade Burris to resign since we now have proof that he was involved if only on the margins in the effort by former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to sell Obama’s US Senate seat. 

Burris is an embarrassment not only to himself and the Democratic Party but he has become a recognizable stain on the United States Senate. The longer Burris remains seated the longer, we the public, have to endure the media’s coverage of this egomaniac and  his pathetic attempts to cover up his role in this deplorable scandal.

You gotta hand it to Blago he knew what he was doing when he appointed Roland Burris but in the end all parties got something from this Burris/Blago debacle. 

Blago got a really good laugh not the last, mind you, but he got a hearty chuckle.

Burris gets to engrave the title Senator on his tombstone and Hardball Award recipient. 

And the American people got yet another shocking glimpse at high-level public corruption. 

 But enough is enough.  Democrats. Republicans. Independents.  GET ROLAND BURRIS OUT OF THE SENATE!!!

” We will not fail,” Sen Ted Kennedy delcares

Today at Obama’s Health Care Summit at the White House Senator Ted Kennedy who doesn’t appear to be ailing, declared that this time ’we will not fail’ at achieving health care reform/universal health care for all Americans.

It seems Sir Ted is ready for a fight. Brain tumor be damned!

You go Sir Ted!

We got cha your back!

On another note, I love these White House/Obama summits. In January there was the Fiscal Responsibility Summit today it’s the Health Care Reform summit. It’s so healthy and democratic to see the President and our political leaders, Republican and Democrats, working together on a issue if only for one day.

I know it’s just one big photo op nevertheless it’s extremely refreshing and it makes for riveting day time television.

MSNBC needs black political commentators with their own shows

 

 

I watch MSNBC all day long seriously, I have no life..lol. And although I’ve noticed this before only recently has it started to bother me that they have lots of black MSNBC analysts but no black commentators with their own show on this station.

Why not?

They don’t even have to look too far. I think either Michelle Bernard or Harold Ford Jr should be considered for their own shows. Bernard and Ford regularly appear on MSNBC shows and segments and either individual would bring a unique  perspective to the news of the day. Maybe they could do a show together?  A black conservative and moderate democrat similar perspectives on certain issues but vastly differently ideologies on the biggest ones. Now that would be interesting.

Come on if Tucker Carlon could get his own show why can’t Michelle Bernard?

What do you think?
