The scandal that just keeps on giving

Below is the news conference held yesterday where Blago introduces his selection for Obama’s vacated Senate seat, the now former Illinois Attorney General, Roland Burris, an African-American.

This is Blago rolling a grenade toward the Senate and seeing who will jump on it as Senate leadership has said they will reject any appointment made by Blago but where Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush, later in the clip, puts the Senate on notice as rejecting Burris is rejecting a black person, none of whom currently serve in the Senate. Oh goody.



B-Daddy examines the legal ramifications and how Blago is absolutely within his right to make this appointment and the solid legal precedent for the Senate not being able to do a damn thing about it, regardless of what they say.

Oh, and the long knives for Burris are out already as negative stories regarding his stint as state attorney general (some from as far back as 16 years ago) are now in general circulation.
