Bingo!!
Chicago Breaking News reports that scandal-plagued Democrat Gov. Rod Blagojevich has appointed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama’s Senate seat, in defiance of Senate leaders who said they would not admit anyone he selected.
Blagojevich’s move seemed designed to trump fellow Democrats who control the U.S. Senate and have unanimously warned him against making the appointment because of the pending criminal charges against him. His choice of Burris, Illinois’ first African-American elected statewide, presents senators with the dilemma of saying no to a replacement for Obama, who was the nation’s only black senator.
A Democrat giving the gift of a political conundrum of this magnitude to his own fellows is a rare sight indeed.

Great idea heading this with “Bingo!” Democrats are really a lot more fun to watch than Republicans — no matter where they live or what office they hold. They seem to have a certain ‘zinger mentality’ that can be quite entertaining.
LOL, Watcher, now you wouldn’t be sayin’ that GOPers are boring or anything like that, now would be????? LOL
Blagojevich’s ego is clearly out of control. Plus he is exceedingly angry and wants to ‘stick it to” everyone in sight, regardless of party. Still, this appointment was rich in many aspects. I’ve read that Burris was among those calling for his resignation. And, now he is accepting the senatorial knighting. Power corrupts.
He’s a typical Illinois Democrat, steeped in corruption with arrogance oozing out of every pore. Remember, this is the political gene pool Barack Obama springs from.
People with a conscience would be hanging their heads in shame after the release of the crude and vulgar recordings of him trying to sell the U.S. senate seat to the highest bidder. Blagojevich gives respectability a swift kick.
