Another I told you so. Why would you even doubt me?
Hey folks,
Remember what I said about Burris?
Why did I not comment on it? Because it is completely false. Of course they are going to seat him. What is alternative?
The alternative is to give it to the people. A Special Election in which case it would open it up to the Republicans as well. Of course they can't have that. So even though Blagojevich was caught attempting to SELL Obama's Senate Seat to the highest bidder, and even though Blagojevich has no business whatsoever making this pick due to the fact he should have been thrown out on his pompous ass already, they will do what they do best. Talk. Put on a bit of a show, then SEAT him.
Well, it was a hell of a show. Even sucked some very predominate people in to it. "How could this be?" "Reid is a Racist." ETC. So what happened at the end of the "Show?" AP - Senate Democrats clear Burris as Obama's successor
WASHINGTON – Eager to put the scandal-tainted standoff behind them, Senate Democrats accepted Roland Burris as President-elect Barack Obama's Senate successor on Monday and said they expect to swear in the new Illinois senator this week. "He is now the senator-designate from Illinois and, as such, will be accorded all the rights and privileges of a senator-elect," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said in a joint statement.
At a news conference in Chicago, Burris called himself honored and humbled to be the state's next junior senator. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to serve," he said and added: "I recognize that my appointment triggered a challenging time for many."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I said, there was never any doubt.
