Blago Names Racist To Obama’s Senate Seat - Update: Race-Baiting News Conference Video Added
Flopping Aces —
Wouldn’t a white guy calling his opponents nothing but a bunch of unqualified black boys qualify as a racist statement?
Just when you thought the Blagojevich scandal couldn’t get anymore crazy comes the news that even though his lawyer has said he would not go ahead and make the pick for Obama’s Senate seat, today, he made the pick. It’s the black former Attorney General Roland Burris, a long time Blago lackey:
Gov. Rod Blagojevich is expected today to name former Illinois Atty. Gen. Roland Burris to replace President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate. ...

Video: The surreal, race-baiting Blagojevich press conference posted at 4:39 pm on December 30, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly A transmission from Bizarroland, where Blago’s only option to make sure Illinois has two Senators in January is to appoint someone himself rather than resign now and let the lieutenant governor make the appointment. I’m giving you four and a half minutes of lowlights, but if you can’t spare the time, skip ahead to 3:25 and watch Rep. Bobby Rush — a former Black Panther and the only person to defeat Barack Obama in an election — stoop to some of the most exquisite race-baiting you’ll ever ...

The Radio Equalizer: Brian Maloney —
MARKED 'CARD' Obamists Play Mind Games Over Race Issues In the hours since embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich outfoxed his Democratic rivals (no kidding!) by appointing an African-American to the US Senate, we've seen many Antique Media references to Blago and his supporters having played "the race card". Coming after a week-long holiday smear campaign orchestrated by these very operatives against conservatives and Republicans over a year-old parody song created for the Rush Limbaugh Show, the accusations are rich indeed. Let's ...

I have to tell you, this Burris pick is absolutely made of awesome. Just watch:
More fun stuff here - and, really, by this point the entire blogosphere, most of which is by now utterly fascinated at the prospect of actually getting to watch the big ship hit the iceberg. Has it been mentioned yet that Burris has been a long time Blagojevich donor? Or that Blagojevich’s General Counsel (not his personal attorney; the administration official) just quit? Or that both Reid and Obama are busily writing the GOP’s campaign ads in 2010 for us by their earnest, but quite likely ...

Mr. Obama goes to Washington.
With brand new, and very extremely positive, signs from the Gallup Poll that his transition is more than weathering criticism from the left and the right, President-elect Barack Obama's Hawaiian sojourn is at its end.
It's that bittersweet time for Obama, a time that we all know, in between the end of the vacation and the renewal of work.
Obama had what appears to have been a lovely working vacation in his native Hawaii, our Pacific paradise which is a source of calming solace for the 44th president. ...
