Blago fills Barack's Seat

In a wierd way - I just love IL Governor Blagojevich. I find it hilarious that he sits there and just thumbs his nose at all the other crooked politicians in Illinois. Almost in a James Traficant "Beam me up Scotty" type of way.

Unable to even get a free cup of coffee out of the deal, Blago went ahead and named the successor to Barack's senate seat. His choice makes me like him and laugh even more...

From Yahoo --

A defiant Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday named a black political trailblazer to Barack Obama's Senate seat, a surprise move that put the governor's opponents in the uncomfortable position of trying to block his choice from becoming the Senate's only black member. Blagojevich's appointment of former state Attorney General Roland Burris injected race into the drama surrounding the embattled governor, who repeatedly sought to distance his selection from charges that he tried to sell the seat to the highest bidder.

"Please don't allow the allegations against me to taint a good and honest man," the governor said, turning to the smiling 71-year-old standing by his side.

"This is about Roland Burris as a U.S. senator, not about the governor who made the appointment."

Hold your popcorn! This three-ring circus is only half over!
