Can this all get any crazier? Rod Blagojevich threw down the gauntlet today and gave the Illinois legislature and the United States Senate the middle finger and then snatched his trousers down and told them all to kiss his white ass when he told us all today that he would be appointing former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to Obama's vacant senate seat. Woot, there it is. Guess what else is there? You guessed it, "You have to give this to Burris or you are a racist!" What the hell? Now, that wasn't the exact quote used, but United States Representative (D-IL), Bobby Rush said this:
"This is a matter of national importance," Rush said. "There are no African-Americans in the Senate, and I don't think that anyone, any U.S. senator who's sitting in the Senate right now wants to go on record to deny one African-American for being seated in the U.S. Senate. ... And so I intend to take that argument to the Congressional Black Caucus."
Lord have mercy. Really? Is that the only reason why Mr. Burris should be handed this seat? Because we need to make sure that an African-American fills it? Hell, if you ask me, it wasn't filled by one in the first place. Alright, alright, cool it zoids. Obama's African-American...ish, but is that what we really want to do--make ourselves the constant recipients of hand-outs and hand-me downs as though we have no merit of our own (political welfare)? That Mr. Burris even wants the seat, even despite all of the shitstorm following Blagojevich, is pretty sad in and of itself. But, Mr. Rush needs to cool it with the racial threats because that shit is only going to play out real quick. --SUGAR
