Roland Burris Is Going to Washington Because God Said So

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

You thought sleazy Illinois governor/hairpiece model Rod Blagojevich appointed Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat?

Oh, no. This deal started at the top. I mean, the very top...

"I am now the junior senator from the state of Illinois," [Burris] said from the pulpit of a South Side church on what he said was the eve of his trip to Washington.

Burris and his backers described his future in religious terms, saying his move to the U.S. Senate is preordained.

"Friends, we're going to have to have some powerful prayer.... They can't deny what the Lord has ordained,'' said Burris at New Covenant Baptist Church, 740 E. 77th, surrounded by ministers, politicians and activists.

Well, they can, but only if the FBI finds out that the Lord is involved in a pay-to-play scheme.

Like if He ordered His deputies to pass around a dish or plate or basket for the purposes of gathering cash every weekend, for example.

LAST COMMENT:

It makes no difference that Roland Burris appears to have a clean record and there is no reason to believe he accepted anything from Blago for the appointment. The question that you need to be asking yourself is…what honorable man or woman would accept this appointment from a disgraced governor? You know the answer. Roland Burris, by accepting Blago’s nod has disgraced himself in the process. I’m sorry, but any man willing to accept the appointment from Blago is a desperate individual. http://www.usefulopinions.blogspot.com

From the Pork Barrel: Old Gray Lady Getting Senile

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

* The NYT reports on exclusion of word "gullible" from new edition of OED...

* ...follows up by blowing lid off left-wing conspiracy in support of bogus theory of "gravity."

* White House calls out NYT for the blackness of its kettle.

* PZ Myers is rightfully honored to be recognized by Andrew Sullivan as one of the best purveyors of "divisive, bitter and intemperate left-wing rhetoric."

* Will Barack Obama take the oath of office on a homosexual atheist's bible?

* Dick Cheney and Joe Biden need to get a room already.

* Al Franken leads Norm Coleman by even more people than went to see that Stuart Smiley movie.
