Rod Blagojevich has big balls to go with big hair
Defiant governor Rod Blagojevich has defied party leaders by naming Obama’s Senate Replacement in a surprise move on Tuesday. Blagojevich’s appointment Roland Burris adds racially charged heat to a fire already burning out of control.
“I was asked if he would appoint me, would I accept, and the answer is yes,” Burris said.
Senate Democrats responded with a statement that the appointment is not fair to Burris or the people of Illinois:
“It is truly regrettable that despite requests from all 50 Democratic senators and public officials throughout Illinois, Gov. Blagojevich would take the imprudent step of appointing someone to the United States Senate who would serve under a shadow and be plagued by questions of impropriety,” the statement said. said the statement.
President-elect Obama issued a statement supporting democratic leaders:
“Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat.”
Can we call this the Blackwater scandal yet?
