New Jersey State Senate To Vote On Gay Marriage
Let's step away for a moment from NY State Senate replacement drama to observe the insanity in Illinois: Allegedly corrupt Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will reportedly name a replacement to President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat. The Chicago Tribune points out this is in spite of Senate Democrats' warnings that they won't seat whomever he names. Blago's rumored pick is former Illinois AG former Roland Burris, 71, who "has said that Obama's replacement should be able to win re-election and he has noted that despite a string of primary losses in races ranging from Chicago mayor to governor and U.S. senator, he's never lost to a Republican." Blago has scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. And, currently, the Blago impeachment panel is on holiday.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Blago is such an arrogant prick. I can't believe he's going to actually appoint someone.
Wow! He's going to appoint someone that he hates and totally embarrass that guy and destroy his political career. Even if the appointee rejects the appointment the person will forever be tainted.
Blago is truly Machiavellian! Then again, maybe he's just a moron.
What kind of total and absolute idiot would actually accept this appointment from Blagojavich?
Ah Illinois, you make New Jersey look like it is run by honest people.
LOL, Toby. Spot-on observation about dirty Jersey, but I think it will be Blago who'll be smiling a year from now, not Obama. Blago may have simply pushed back Obama/Emannuel machine & they fed him to the Feds. Time will tell.
Another thing - Gov.Paterson may have spoken an unspeakable truth some days ago - "Once you go black, you don't go back."
Once a seat was won by a black politician, it'd be racist to
elect/appoint a pale person as a replacement. See Il seat.
The affirmative action senator... Complete with pre-packaged accusations of racisism! (Blogo said "don't lynch or hang" this appointee at the press event)
Disgusting.
