LOL!

This is such a hit on Obama's prestige.

Obama told Blago to resign. Blago did not. Now Blago has defied The One.

Does anyone here see the First Failure of Messianic Eloquence?

[eureka!]

"The really funny thing about this whole mess is to watch all of the Chicago crooks, from the legislature to the office of President Elect, going through fits every time Blago pulls another stunt. They want this guy gone, gone, gone. Not because he’s a crook, but because he’s bringing the bright lights on all of them."

Agreed. I hope that the governor has more arrows in his quiver and goes into total self-preservation mode...

[Seven plus One]

They want this guy gone, gone, gone. Not because he’s a crook, but because he’s bringing the bright lights on all of them.

If they sit down and shut up, the lights may dim a little. Burris is an old establishment democrat with a reasonably clean record and no known enemies, plus he's 'A Black Guy'. I'd like to see how durbin, reid, et al try to get away with not accepting him.
