Welp, Obama can’t win them all.
According to the AP, the Senate has caved and Roland Burris will be seated as the Illinois Senator.
In a shocking show of racist bigotry, the Senate Majority Leader, Harry M. Reid, stood in the Senate house doors and blocked Burris’ entry yesterday.
Burris was tapped by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to fill the seat left vacant by former Illinois Jr. senator Barack Obama — who wanted one of his cronies to fill the seat.
As fate would have it, Blagojevich was arrested for negotiating with Obama’s team to fill the seat — and Blago retaliated by naming Burris.
Never mind that Reid’s contentious move to block Burris was racist — it was also against the law.
Even though Blago is the subject of impeachment proceedings, he hasn’t been impeached yet.
He is still the governor of Illinois and by law he can still name a new senator.
