Tish, it already HAS become a racial issue, it became RACIST as soon as Bobby Rush opened his foul mouth… The 1st words from HIS mouth were accusations of racism… THAT is how it becomes a *racist* matter, one IDIOT cried *RACISM* and it’s ON!!

Sometimes I feel so lost when it comes to politics.

How this could become a race issue I’m unsure. But you are right someone, some group, will cry racism.

Anyone tied to the Illinois governor can’t possibly be a good fit, I’m thinking. To me it’s like having “scandal” written in big red ink all over it.

Why can’t they just have an election?

There you go again Fred… Insulting Moonbats!

Seriously, Burris may be a decent man. But, he has been inextricably linked with Blago. He might as well run up the white flag…

And no, it has nothing at all to do with race.

Bobby Rush is a bigger racist than Klan guys are, Rush is nothing more than an idiot…

I heard that tongue-tied moron on FOX News today, he is exactly what his district deserves to have representing them, a MOONBAT!!

Didn’t take too long to get your wish. From Fox News:

“U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., one of Burris’ top cheerleaders on Capitol Hill, even accused the Senate leadership of racism. Burris is black and if seated would be the only black member of the U.S. Senate, a distinction Obama once held.

“While they might not be termed racist, their action is racist,” Rush told FOX News. “I think that if Roland Burris hadn’t been an African American, then he would have been allowed to accept the appointment and become a senator.”"

Bobby Rush, liberal Democrat race-baiter from Illinois.

The wrong of this episode is that the MSM would not shut up about racism if the leader of the Senate were Republican.

You know it.

I know it.

But because Harry Reid wears a D the MSM isn’t screaming racism. Even when Reid has been caught declaring to Blago three names of blacks he doesn’t want and two names of non-blacks he would allow the MSM is not calling it racism.

It isn’t that I feel that Burris should have the seat. I just want the double standard to be acknowledged for what it is.

Blagojevich hasn’t done anything any other Democrat in power hasn’t done. Normally a Democrat getting caught like he did wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans but Blago did something different. What Blago did different was that he embarrassed the anointed one, Obama. He put a stain on Obama and Chicago politics and that’s why he’s an outcast with Democrats. Normally his actions would have gotten him a high level appointment.

I’m enjoying watching the Demorats ALREADY begin to self-immolate — and The One has not YET even been inaugurated.
