why he must have that Senate appointment! His mausoleum destiny must be fulfilled:bounce:

I don't even believe how this more than verifies my suspicion that he has an oversized id.

This writer has an accurate view of Mr Burris, imo..

13. "Mr Burris Goes To Washington"
<snips>

"Right now I just want to say one thing: I don't know much about this guy or his career thus far, however, he has already started out firmly on my bad side. Maybe he would have been a decent choice for a legitimate governor to appoint, I don't know, but what I do know is that I don't like him, and from what I've seen he is a complete moron. Why? Well...

1) He actually accepted the job (which was turned down by at least one other person first) from a person who is pretty much unanimously seen as illegitimate. Suffice to say, he showed pretty bad judgment. To me, it looks like he wanted power, and this was the only way it was going to happen. Better to accept it from a crook, than to not have it at all, right Burris?

2) He came out of the gate threatening Democrats, vowing to go to court to weasel his way into the Senate, against the wishes of pretty much everyone. Sense of entitlement, anyone?

3) Without skipping a beat, he also claimed that the would be "a major outcry" from the people of Illinois if he wasn't seated, because a corrupt man who Illinois voters overwhelmingly agreed should not be able to make the appointment, made it. Delusions of grandeur, anyone?

4) And as if that wasn't all bad enough, last night he said this, of his epic quest to claw his way into the Senate: "We are hoping and praying that they will not be able to deny what the Lord has ordained." Excuse me? "what the Lord has ordained"?? The Lord? Is that what we are calling Governor Rod "Bleepin' Golden" Blagojevich now? The Lord? I don't know what is worse, that Burris actually seems to think Blago is god or an instrument of god, or that Burris actually seems to think that god gives a shit about him filling this Senate seat. Hey Burris, GET OVER YOURSELF!

Oh yeah, and here comes the bonus round:

5) Hey, Rep. Bobby Rush, STFU!:
At the sendoff event for Roland Burris last night, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) continued to present the controversy around Burris' appointment in strictly racial terms. Rush declared that the resistance of the Democratic leadership to seating Burris was "the last bastion of racial plantation politics in America."
