The whole Roland Burris thing is getting a little tiresome already. I turned on Rush Limbaugh today just to hear the absurdity and its as if the republicans are in a cave over why the senate leaders were not allowing this thing to go through. Rush tried implicating that its a race thing. How that can be contrived by his small mind is beyond me. What a short memory he has.

Remember Blagobitch? Yeah him? The guy who tried selling the seat and is still being impeached for the whole deal? Thats why they didn't want to just allow Burris the seat, because its essentially a bogus pick made by a governor that miraculously is still governor instead of in jail.

This falls on the shoulders of the Illinois State Senate for not impeaching Blagobitch before Christmas. Burris was not the best pick, Burris has lost several statewide primaries and political races in the past and rumor has it he was 7th on the list of possible candidates for Blago but none of the others wanted anything to do with the dirty bastard.

So here we are, Harry Reid and the Senate Majority with a tough decision, if they pick Burris like they did, then Blago wins and gets his way, if they don't then the dumb ass republicans in this country try to make it seem like the democrats all of sudden don't want him in the senate because of his race. Barack Obama and the other African American politicians haven't chimed in because they know that its A) a US Senate matter and B) not about race!

The fact is, in order to get the Burris sworn in they need the signatures of the Secretary of State and Blago. There is some question as to whether the Secretary of State will even sign their name to the choice, not because Burris isn't a good choice, but because of who made it.

They of course have since assured us that Burris will be seated, but the path to this was full of a lot of false statements made by idiots such as Limbaugh that made me sick and I sure many people bought into. The race card is simply not true and Rush Limbaugh, for those of you still listening to his load of crap, is trying stir up crap that just isn't there to stir up.

Now that this is over though, we really need to focus on the important new, like the economy and getting our new president sworn in.
