TheAnvil 0 #2 December 31, 2008 For those of them with an intellect of note, at any rate. They remain silent about this racist...and their silence is most telling. Silence indicates consent, you see. But they have supported racial discrimination and tolerated racists within their midst for so long, it really isn't much of a surprise.

Blues, Dave Exactly. Even knowing who said it, it still makes no sense. Can't figure out the point, and why anybody but the person who made the comment should be embarassed.

Given it's the same state where the gov tore up Meiggs Field rather than follow the process, it doesn't seem too surprising either. It definitely puts the DNC and the Senate overall in an awkward situation. Still, I put his odds at being accepted at well under 50/50. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll admit there's lots to go around on both side of the aisle. But c'mon...this is priceless, no? 3 weeks ago you have a Dem Rep chastising Blago and all of a sudden he's behind him? Hmmm. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/12/rep_rush_says_blagojevich_unfi.html "I believe that the acts that are alleged to have been committed by the Governor are so heinous that he has forfeited his right to appoint someone to fill the seat of President-Elect Barack Obama. My bottom line is that the Governor should not be the one to make the appointment to this important office. Maybe Blago made a contribution to Bobby's bottom line.Please don't dent the planet.

tbrown 26 #25 January 1, 2009 Blago just doesn't know when to shut the fup uck.... He's gone and made another grandstand play that could very well drag a good man's name through the mud. Forgive me if I can't recall the guy's name at the moment, it IS New Year's Eve, but apparently he is also untainted by all the recent Balgoyeblech... I would also rather that some other black Chicago politician hadn't got up and immediatley pleaded for the U.S. Senate to not "lynch" the nominee. The situation is already touchy enough without having to play the race card first. Fuck, we just elected Obama, didn't we ? I mean a few of us white folks voted for Barack too ? Let's just please give things a chance to shake out a bit without resorting to the Jesse Jackson bullshit.... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
