Illinois Governor-appointed Senator, Roland Burris, was barred from entering the Senate today. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats scramble to cover up allegations of racism, brought on largely due to the weak legal standing for blocking a legally appointed replacement for President-Elect Obama.
Due to the controversy, Mr. Burris is probably beginning to feel like 3/5 a Senator, which is a reference to the tragic time in our history when black men were only counted as 3/5 of a person instead of a whole person.
Show me the facts. I don't want to hear anymore from the ranting,raving,rambling, Republicans. Did Senator Burris give any money to R.B.? No. Did he promise to give R.B. any money? No. Did Senator Burris promise to give R.B.'s brother any money, No. So, then what is the problem? Nothing but the ranting,raving,rambling Republicans at it again; any nothing more.

Eugene,
My posting long preceded his current scandal, and was about Democrats blocking his appointment. However, since you brought it up, it appears he wasn't honest about to whom he spoke and when. Nothing new for Chicago politics, but liars should be held to account - that goes for politician is both parties.
