“…by announcing that Burris would be barred from the Senate as a matter of principle and quickly giving in, Reid and his allies look like the spineless, shifty hacks they are. By trying to avoid the embarrassment of serving with a man appointed by a fellow Democrat accused of corruption, they have only magnified their humiliation.”

I was expecting questions from you about the deal
antisocial Wednesday, January 7th at 11:51PM EST (link)What is the deal?
Who paid what and who was recipient?
How much money is being paid?
What happened to the signed letter vowing to reject Gov. Blago’s choice?
Harry Reid: “He obviously is a very engaging, extremely nice man. He presents himself well”. I can’t believe this. This is a typical democrat playbook. This is a case of Reid not getting his “white” candidates in. Booby Rush is right. This is Racism by Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Liberal Racism. He doesn’t want anybody else to be a symbol of breaking this Race Barrier.
And yes… Why are we not calling out the incompetence of these guys as lawyers (Reid/Obama). It was clear from the moment Blago’s announced his pick that senate will need to seat this guy. Or they will be made to seat him by courts.
