Comments on: Senate Turns Down Roland Burris

Blagojevich's Appointee Says He Is Looking At Options For Getting Seat After Rejection On Capitol Hill

DaVicar3: His appointment wasn''t legal, nothing racial about it, the Secretary of State did not sign the forms, and by the way he is black, race had not a thing too do with this. Nice try though.

Just more Waste of Time Drama the Senate and House needs to get to Work and quit wasting time and tax payers dollars on this kind of kid krap.

I find this really pathetic. Congress has the lowest rating ever, now they are acting like kids in the school yard, you can''t play with us because your not our color, have the "right credentials", etc, etc, etc.
Congress, get a life, do something other than complain about what some nut job govenor did and get to work doing the people''s work, not your own narccisist gratification of "how great we are!!"

What is this guy thinking the days of race are over. Obama saw to that and thank you for that one because he was the best for the job.

Now send this guy packing home if the new governor wants to appoint him then so be it.

Burris isn''t any more corrupt than any other seated Senator State or Federal. Let the man in and get his piece of decadent pie.
