Blago has been a whiff of fresh air (compared to the stench of Reid, Shummer, Kennedy, etc.) for a month now.

Let’s hope he hangs in there for months more.

Distraction to slow Obamenstein’s handlers down are the best thing that can happen for the country.

And I’m hoping Cornyn steps up more now that he has a leadership position. He is one of the few I see in the Senate cesspool who seems to be a functioning adult.

Don’t tase me bro!!!

And as another salvo across Reid’s bow, my great Senator, John Cornyn, has stated that Republicans will block the seating of Al Frankenstein in the event that he claims victory before all the election results are worked out in the Minnesota courts.

See Harry, we can play that game.

Despite stunts like this that supposedly upset blacks, Democrats know they will continue to get 90% of the black vote.

He will be the best Democratic Senator in the cesspool.

Blago Raises the Stakes—Will The Senate Democrats Call Him?
By Patrick J. Buchanan

On the eve of the New Year, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, charged with conspiring to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama, put the ball back squarely in the court of a Democratic Party that had disowned him.

Blago named Roland Burris, former attorney general of Illinois and first African-American ever to win statewide office, to fill the vacated seat. National Democrats and their media auxiliaries went berserk.

This governor, thundered The New York Times, “has taken his hubris to new heights and the misery of Illinois citizens to new lows.” [The Latest From Illinois, December 30, 2008]

This appointment “will not stand,” raged Majority Leader Harry Reid.

If the distinguished 71-year-old lawyer arrives to take his seat, Reid threatened, the Senate will slam the door in his face.

But who is truly showing hubris here? And under what authority and with what justification would Reid deny Burris his seat?

There is not the slightest hint Burris did anything unethical or illegal to win this appointment. Nor is there any doubt as to Gov. Blagojevich’s right to make the appointment. He is still governor of Illinois. He has not been convicted of anything. And he not only has the right but an obligation to carry out his duties, one of which is to appoint candidates to fill empty seats in the U.S. Senate.

As for Burris, his qualifications are surely superior to those of Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, whom Democrats have been pounding New York Gov. David Paterson to appoint to Hillary Clinton’s seat…

We have a Democratic Senate that champions affirmative action. Yet not one white male Democratic senator, in a caucus that has not a single black member, has ever volunteered to step down and let the governor of their state replace him or her with an African-American.

Not one. That would be liberals leading by example, not exhortation.

If Democrats believe our institutions of power should look like America, why don’t they make their Senate caucus look like America? Why do not a dozen Democrat senators resign, to be replaced by 12 appointed black Democrats, giving one-fifth of all Democratic Senate seats to a minority that gave Barack 97 percent of its vote and Barack and Joe Biden one-fourth of all the votes they received?

Why does not Gov. Paterson follow Gov. Blagojevich’s lead and name an African-American of Burris’ stature to the U.S. Senate?

Fellas, let’s start practicing what we preach here.
