Goings on in the Blagosphere.

Cinie explains it all for you - and me here. John Kass, ironically of the same Chicago Tribune Blags is accused of trying to manipulate, points out that the Democrats pretty much brought this current mess upon themselves: Of course, Tuesday's fiasco could have been avoided. Democrats in the state legislature could have stripped Blagojevich of his appointment powers and imposed a special election. Obama also could have demanded it. But as he has done so often in his career, Obama avoided a confrontation and looked the other way.

In fact, the power women are on it tonight. Here Uppity chimes on the possibility that Burris may be met with Senate goons and turned away. No kidding. I didn't make this up.
If Roland Burris tries to enter the rarefied airspace of the Senate chambers, he will be stopped by armed guards.

So the Obama era will probably begin with an exceptionally qualified black man being turned away from the Senate while a questionably qualified white women, and Obama sycophant, from a powerful family will be seated. After a year of sexist Hillary bashing from those opposing Burris one can only sit back and snicker with disgust. Once again Obama has the opportunity here to heal wounds - but, being a parasitic coward, he won't. Provided there is nothing unknown and disqualifying about Burris, BHO could signal he approves or, at least, is no longer opposed to his appointment. It's not Burris's fault Blag is almost certainly a crook.

And don't be fooled by the media - Blag's appointment of Burris was perfectly legal. There is no reason for the Senate's belligerence. It is a naked, extra-legal powerplay with the assent of PEBO.

Harry Reid and the Obamanation are opposing Burris for one reason only: They want someone else. Of course, this is an absurd reason and a disastrous precedent.

Sadly for Burris, based on the behaviour of the Obama pods and the Obama media this past year, I suspect Mr. Burris is a few newscycles from being personally trashed.
