Blago surprise: Here comes his Senate replacement; race-card circus; Obama says no
An end-of-the-year gambit from Blago.
Voila (via Sun-Times):
Gov. Blagojevich today is expected to name former state Comptroller and Attorney General Roland Burris to Illinois’ vacant U.S. Senate seat, a knowledgeable source said this morning.
Former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris, 71, had lobbied the governor for the position in recent weeks.
Burris made a previous attempt at the Senate seat in the past — unsuccessfully. In 1984, he was beat out for the Democratic nomination by Paul Simon.
Burris is a reliable Blago crony.
He’d also be the only black member of the U.S. Senate, putting Harry Reid in a spot, as Allahpundit notes.
What to do? What to do?
***
Update: Dems say no.
Video of Blago’s race-baiting caberet!
Enjoy the show!
***
Update: Obama weighs in. Don’t seat Burris.
RAAAAACIST!!!

Rep.Bobby Rush, monosyllabic, idiot, brain-dead, drooling fool, grievance whore, moron that he is… needs to be pelted with a sock full of manure.
Rep. Bobby Rush of, you guessed it, Americas cesspool: Chicago… is truly profoundly retarded. If you want to hear someone who makes Cynthia McKinney sound like Stephen Hawking listen to this idiot shamelessly play the now threadbare race card for whatever he can grab.
“Rep. Bobby Rush”… God help us.
Grab the popcorn. This will be fun!
