Same Old Problems Plauge Hope/Change
Harry Reid has now, according to this poll, through his obstinance and idiocy, helped create popular support for Burris to not be seated. Since Burris will be seated anyway, these people will be pissed, Reid will look like a clown for being rolled over and put in his place by Blagojevich, and Republicans, with an assist from the Democrats who ran around calling Burris tainted for several weeks, will now claim Democrats are just as corrupt as Republicans.I thought about titling this post, They're Back! It all just seems so familiar doesn't it? Rather than change for the future, turns out the Obamamessiah just doesn't override those same old Democrat traditions.It really is impressive how Reid and company got themselves into this mess. Their ability to inflict maximum pain on themselves for no gain is really unparalleled. You couldn’t game out a worse scenario for the Democrats, short of Blagojevich appointing himself to the seat or Obama on tape trying to sell the seat with Blago for money to spend on hookers and blow.
Personally I hope Burris is not seated and think that Jesse White has done the right thing by his office and the State of Illinois. Short of impeaching Jesse White for this act and appointing someone who will sign his Burris' credentials, I don't see how Burris will be seated. Rules are rules for a reason.
