Well, Governor Blagojevich is nothing if not ballsy and politically shrewd enough to really drag this thing out that he has gotten himself into and all of us by association. For those of you that are not up on current political thievery-Gov. Blagojevich is the embattled Illinois Governor who is on his way to indictment for offering the now vacated senate seat of President elect Barry to the highest bidder. Lots of this is on tape too so we can all hear it!
The Governor who seems to be a sociopath knew that any person he nominated to take the senate seat would be refused by most politicians and most assuredly by the Senate. So what is a crooked Governor to do? Play the race card! Blagojevich knew that if he picked an African American to fill the senate seat that Barry held he would enjoy some built in support. The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will soon be on TV supporting Roland Burris. Mr. Burris is a 71 year old politician from Illinois who served as Illinois Attorney General in the past. He seems to have a scandal free past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Burris
I don't have anything against Mr. Burris. I just enjoy watching the political game. I am curious to see how the powers that be will respond to this nomination.
Very interesting. Blago is an idiot yet smart at the same time.
