It's not helpful right now for Republicans to exacerbate this situation by mocking Harry Reid.

2 Damn!

Business is good these days.

3 <chortle>

4 I'm saddened to see that you also failed to note my contribution to the space program. Do you really think Neil Armstrong came up with that 'One small step...' thing on his own? Hardly.

5 Elvis Roland Burris has left the building.

6 Funny how there is never any mention of the Saviour's comments on this guy appointed to take his seat.

7 It's a good thing Burris left when he did. I hear Harry was gonna chain him to the rear of his car and drag him up Constitution ave.

8
"Not present!"

9 You know, it's really unfortunate, that, you know, a qualified African-American like, you know, Roland Buriss can't be seated.  I think that the best solution, you know, to this situation, you know, may be for my Uncle Ted to, you know, formally adopt Mr. Buriss to make him, you know, a part of Camelot.  That would be all the, you know, credentials that he would need.

10 All together now...Harry Reid is a racist..Damn, Blagojevich is a crafty bastard!

11 Burris should be seated. Until impeached, Blagojevich is the Governor of Illinois, and was able to appoint Obama's replacement. The fact that all this mess is inconvenient to the Dems just makes it hilarious.



Al Franken should not be seated; as he was not the legitimate winner in MN.



But Burris? Seat him.

12 Funny how there is never any mention of the Saviour's comments on this guy appointed to take his seat.

Yeah, I guess no reporter has thought to ask him his opinion on the matter. How intellectually incurious of them.

13 I have been eating too much popcorn lately. Can we change the  snack of the day to nachos, at least for a while?

14 "Yeah, I guess no reporter has thought to ask him his opinion on the matter."

Or his opinion's on Israel/Gaza for that matter

15

You know, the Republican Congress as a whole (notable exceptions, of course) don't deserve to have the Democrats as their opposition.

But thank goodness they do.

2010 is shaping up quite nicely. 

16

It's too succinct and informative to be Faulkner. If this was a Faulkner novel:

Burris waited with muted anger, rage, indomitable and dumb and violent, incandescent at the insult to him, to his father, who had hewed a job out of the Chicago jungle and brought him here, corso recorso, to the city, the capital, its own hewing not from woods but from limestone and laid in a swamp by a Frenchman too drunk to draw a straight street on a cartograph, a city of cream-white Greco-Roman privilege where a black man, the first (or so the man playing checkers on the upturned pickle barrel on the porch of the store where Varner sold to Snopes and Snopes conferred therein, paterfamilias to son, time immemorial) was going to be president, and he likewise was to be a senator, to represent his people and their people...

And an old, crickety little white man stood on the steps of the limestone building. "No," he said, intoned, carked.

 

17 Now THIS is politics, unlike that half-assed bullshit that McCain tried to pass off as a campaign.

18 BTW, I thought he wasn't seated because the Illinois secretary of state(? or of elections?) hadn't credentialed him. Isn't Burris' beef with the paper-pushers back home?

19
Notice how the Democrats are keeping a muzzle on Robert "Kleage" Byrd?

They don't even want Byrd seen during this Burris fiasco.

20 You know, the Senate would have an African-American if the racists in Maryland had voted for Michael Steele.

21 Um, why didn't Burris throw down on the Illinois secretary of state prior to waltzing into the Capitol with incomplete paperwork?  Is he really that stupid? 

22 Roland Burris is now leading reporters on a low speed chase back to Chicago.

23 railwriter - thanks for reminding me how much I loathe Faulkner.

I second the nachos request, I mean, it's good to change things up now and again. 

I wonder what the headlines would be if the parties were reversed - Republicans Bar The Door To Only Black Senator would be the most mild.

24
Anyone else listening to Rush right now? He just asked if one can be "too black?" or "bad black?"

I predict the MSM will make hay out of this. After all, they need something to distract people from Harry Reid.

25 These unwelcome distraction seem to only get worse for the historic messiah.  The poor, poor historic messiah. How long must he have to endure this? At least the media is focusing only on important subjects like what Barry's kids eat for lunch.

26 I haven't had this much fun in The Senate, since I voted against the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 and Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas for SCOTUS.

Good times,... good times.

27 Can I have extra & hot salsa on my nachos?

28 I don't see how this helps my children.

29 Any tips on how to get out the double extra butter stains out of my shirt?

Poor Michelle all of these unwelcome distractions cannot be good for you or your kids. By the way are they enjoying their seaweed lunch or is it treebark today?

31 Whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering your question's  with specificity about Mr. Burris … is above my pay grade.

32 We will win this on appeal as long as Burris doesn't try to run away.

33 18 BTW, I thought he wasn't seated because the Illinois secretary of state(? or of elections?) hadn't credentialed him. Isn't Burris' beef with the paper-pushers back home?

You are indeed correct. However, there's no real drama (or extensive national media coverage) back in Illinois. A confrontation in DC makes much better political theater.

34

I know this is probably infinitely redundant, but wouldn't it be fun to imagine how this would become PAGE ONE ABOVE THE FOLD 48 POINT BOLD UNDERLINED HEADLINES if the Republicans could be blamed for this little fiasco?

Attention Dems. Live by the race card.... you know the rest. Enjoy it. You guys have earned all the soon to come wrath and riots you are about to get.

Your party has spent the last 40 plus years dividing everyone into either victimhood or "rethuglicans." Well, now you will see just how much "unity" there is in the "party of tolerance and open-mindedness" now that the "victims" with diffrent goals are now competing with each other for money and power.

I say let Franken get seated too. Screw Coleman. He was never a conservative ally. Let the Dems have it all. Let them show the American (stupid) voters just how corrupt, inept, greedy, insolent, power-hungry and arrogant they are.

It will be fun to sit back and watch the free for all cannibalistic orgy that the Democrats descend into over the next couple of years.

35 This is hilarious!  You GUYS are hilarious! 

Railwriter, you are good.

36

Dear Ace Readers:

Can someone please use "bad black" in a sentence? I'm confused about usage; I'd have thought Cosby would be considered "bad," but so could Flavor Flav. Or Suge Knight. Or Urkel. Help!

Thanks,

PC-Conscious in Virginia

37 If you have any questions for Sen. Reid he can be contacted via personal message @ Stormfront.gov

38 Old white codgers block black man from entering workplace on his first day on the job. News media don't give a damn.

39

I Still think the reaction of the Congressional Black Caucus is hilarious.

40

Thanks, Alana--I thank the patriarchal system of exclusive white privilege that made my liberal arts degree possible for my passing familiarity with Faulkner's style. Incidentally, would "white" be capitalized in that sentence, or is Black capitalized but "white" lowercase?

My crystal ball shows me a world of culture-conscious and ethno-racial-sensitive confusion arising as aftereffects from the apotheosis of The One.

41 White Checks Black. Mate!

42 What did Reid do in WW II besides send the Japs a map of the layout of Pearl Harbor showing which ships were moored where on Dec. 6?

43 this will be bad if Burris isn't allowed in. As one of the people who posted above mentioned, Blago is still governor, and his word is final. And Burris is as honest as it gets for Chicago politics. He was a good choice for senator. I really hope they'll seat him.

44

sassypants at January 06, 2009 01:25 PM (QsENy

What if Blago appointed JJ Jr.  Would you still think he should have final word?

45 Which shows the sad state of affairs in IL politics.  Burris is basically a self-aggrandizing tool who suffers under delusions about how others view him and likes to cry "racism." 

46 Mr. Burris appointment to the U.S. senate has not yet been certified by the Illinois Secretary of State, Jesse White, who happens to be an african american.

Since he has not yet qualified to sit as a U.S. senator, he should be barred by the senate leadership, whatever the color of his skin.  Quit crying your crocodile tears for Burris, we all know you don't give a damn about him, his party, or his race.

47

What if Blago appointed JJ Jr.  Would you still think he should have final word?

What does Jimmy "Dy-No-Mite!" Walker have to with this?

Racist.

48 How dare you lowercase the word Black!

FUCKING RACIST.

49 "Funny how there is never any mention of the Saviour's comments on this guy appointed to take his seat."

Why would I insert myself into Chicago politics? I know practically nothing about it other than to provide hope and change. So, please, just let me eat my waffle in peace.

50 Jesse White, who happens to be an african american.

So?

51 14 "Yeah, I guess no reporter has thought to ask him his opinion on the matter."

Or his opinion's on Israel/Gaza for that matter


Well, we believe that's not what the people want to have asked of President-Elect Obama right now.

52 Let the Present-dent eat his waffle in peace, for cripe's sake.

He needs to figure how to get out of this without losing any of that 2%* margin that put him in office.

* including fraud

53 Let me preemptively affirm that Harry Reid in fact did NOT help me invent the internet.  It's mine, all mine, and I'm not sharing.  He couldn't fill my shoes (which leave an awesome carbon footprint, btw).

54 Has anyone ever measured the methane emissions from Algor's well-fed ass?

55

Franken should not be seated.  He is a bastard senator as Vincent Mancini was a bastard child of Sonny in The Godfather. 

Burris should be seated.  Gov. B, in spite of his arrest, still has the power to appoint.  I'll bet the IL Secretary of State has no actual legal authority to not certify Burris. 

Still though, as someone above wrote, this is politics.  That election year drivel was such a poor substitute for it, I forgot how much I like the real thing.

.

56 They have to seat him.  Who else can play The One in the Senate skits Stuart Smalley will be writing?

57 More Faulkner spoofs, please.

58

There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two of us, Harry.

Certification now, certification tomorrow and certification forever!

Sincerely,

59 Finally! The Democratic Party returns to its core valiues! On to the schoolhouses!

60 The U. S. Senate - last plantation for the KKK!

61

The One went--not walked, not rode, floated even, some said maybe flew--from Union Station to the steps of the old white house. "Hit ain't even his'n yet," the boy said as He, that irrepressible mediocrity, that jug-eared, grinning snake-oil peddler from the Midway, a preacher with no church as such, proclaiming a faith as factually ephemeral as a sand-castle, alighted in the Rose Garden, grinned, waved, miracled. "Hit ain't even his'n, but he's actin' like little lord Fonteeroy. Like he's already the Pres'dent."

"He ain't yet," said the old man, his uncle, guide to a hundred hunts and heir to a thousand. "He ain't the leader yet, but he knows it, kin smell it. Knows that them fools that voted for him, alive and dead both, some even never did live, and some just full retarded, he knows that they made Him in their image, and that He will lead them just as soon as the Texan gits."

"But it ain't fair!" the boy said. "It ain't his'n yet!"

"Son, you gonta learn soon since you ain't already, it's all his'n, or is fixin' to be, and will be for eight years. What you think is your'n? That's his'n, or will be, too."

Sorry, when you channel Bill, he sorta takes over...

 

62 Notice how the Democrats are keeping a muzzle on Robert "Kleage" Byrd?

"Now heah we have a fine darkie buck, what am ah bid for him"

63 Well, this is the first time I know of that the Democrats have refused to seat a Democratic congressman, but then the situation is different: he wasn't lawfully elected.

64 Could we like, get Hillary confirmed already? Uncle Ted, you know, told me I'd be like, sworn in you know in time for you know, the Paris winter fashion shows.

65 Does anyone remember the actor Strother Martin from "Cool Hand Luke"? Sen. Kleagle Byrd sounds just like him.

http://tinyurl.com/4wx4na

66 I'm sure the DemSM news directors are shitting a brick on this. Name That Party time, maybe even "accidentally" slip an "R" next to the graphic of Reid.

"Quick! Get a bunch of super investigative reporters up to Alaska and get all you can on Levi Johnson's Pipeline job! The public MUST be informed!"

67 As one of the people who posted above mentioned, Blago is still governor, and his word is final.

Not necessarily.Each house of Congress is "the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own members," according to Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution. So it looks like the Senate has the power to decide whether or not Burris can take his seat, regardless of the sign-off by the IL secretary of state. (Volokh disagrees, but the largument he endorses is bizarre and disappointing.)

68

The Constitution does say that they can be the “judge of elections” but this was not an election AND Scotus has ruled that they can  not add conditions.

 

But this is indeed fun to watch.

69

The Constitution does say that they can be the “judge of elections” but this was not an election AND Scotus has ruled that they can  not add conditions.

 

But this is indeed fun to watch.

Yes indeed.  No election,  no returns.  Nothing to judge there.  And qualifications?  If he's good enough for the guy who has the power to appoint him,  he's good enough to be seated.  The congress is trying to judge the qualifications of the governor.  I'd say that's not a issue that someone of their pay grade should concern themselves with.

Fun indeed.

What would be really fun is if Blago starts appointing names from Reid's acceptable list.  Ya know,  just to fuck with him.

70 Yes indeed. No election, no returns.

My first link actually addresses the issues raised by Powell v. McCormack, and I'm inclined to agree with the argument. He argues that "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a 'Return' in the time of the framers involved a report of an appointment made by a sheriff or other official. If the Senate may refuse to seat a person picked in a corrupt election, it likewise may refuse to seat a person picked in a corrupt appointment process."

71
Appointment returns?

Never heard of 'em.  You make an appointment,  you don't return it.

72 Yes indeed.  No election,  no returns.  Nothing to judge there.  And qualifications?  If he's good enough for the guy who has the power to appoint him,  he's good enough to be seated

"The Leader says go away!!! "

"But I'm a Kennedy!"

"A Kennedy? Well that's a horse of a different color!! Come on in, come on in!!"

73 Time for Republicans to start counting how many blacks live in Reid's neighborhood....How many blacks he employs on his staff....How his Mormon religion discriminates against blacks....how he leaves crappy tips for black waiters, and shouting RACIST! from the rooftops at every opportunity. And screw the accuracy -- We've entered a new age in political discourse and it's high time Republicans get with the program. That's right, it's time to "Palinize" this fucker.

74 my mother is a fish.

75 "I don't judge a man by the color of his skin, but by the width of his nostrils"
- Senator Harry Reid

76

I may only be 3/5 a senator, but Harry Reid is definitely 5/5 an asshole.

 

77 I hate to say it, but I'm starting to like the Chicago Democrats. Sure they're as crooked as Barney Frank's rectum, but my God, they've got guts! Blago has elephant balls of steel where most Republican politicians have a small pair of chocolate covered raisins... And Burris may be an egomaniac that named his son Roland AND his daughter Rolandia after himself, but talk about moxie!

Why can't Republicans be this tough? :-(

78 Sure they're as crooked as Barney Frank's rectum,

Now I have this image in my head of a gerbil in a maze..

79

He then noted he also "had something to do with beating the Japs in WWII."

Obviously, slang for masturbation

80 you beat me at my own game, toast.
