1. Blaggo is a crook, but compared to the crooks in the Senate, he is saint

Politics does made for strange bedfellows.

2. LMAO!!! Now you're praising a schiester and possible crook.

That is fucking rich.

:rofl:

4. I Said It Was Ironic...

And BTW... shysters (check your spelling) and crooks are rampant in the U.S. Senate.

Or haven't you been paying attention?

3. Lookie here - everybody wants their moment in the sun.

Burris is a fool and a crook. Fuck him.

EDIT: Good Lord. Have you seen the replies at Huff Post. That place is batshit crazy...proof that the right wing boards have not yet cornered the market for wingnut looniness.

5. Yep- fuck him for doing the right thing

Seems some well deserve the shafting they're getting.

6. And A Senator... With A Vote...

Curiously, he might just come out of this whole fight looking better than several "non-fool, non-crook" Senators.

8. His vote is worth as much as Libermans. And here's what I know...

He's got the people on his side.

So why aren't we talking about how we can't pass a bill WITHOUT a public option, instead of the other way around?

9. Most Excellent Question...
