For once me and Mike Gallagher are in complete agreement on something -- how does the Democratic Party look; how do Harry Reid and Dick Durbin (who thinks women can do what they want with their bodies, i.e. -- abortion but you and I can't take ephedrine) look after yesterday's mess?
A black man, Roland Burris, was turned away at the senate doors and made to walk in the rain, and later consult his attorneys, because Harry Reid and Dick Durbin are so scared of the political ramifications of the Blow-job-o-vich scandal, that they don't wanna take the heat for the governor's appointee, even though the appointee himself has come under no corruption charges, and is qualified for the job?
Planetary alignment has occurred here, because I have to praise Mike Gallagher for summing up the situation so perfectly: The Senate Democrat leadership has refused a black man entry into the senate and made him walk home in the rain. And this is the party of minorities? Of affirmative action? Of protecting the black man from the evil white racist republicans who are out to screw minorities?
Meanwhile, the Republican party is about to elect its first ever African-American party chairman, and the race is between two -- wait for it -- two AFRICAN-AMERICANS. Ain't that somethin'?
Democratic party -- get your shit together. Seriously. You are in charge of EVERYTHING now. You have an almost filibuster-proof majority in the senate. You can't blame Bush and the Republicans anymore. And incidents like this don't help you. Neither does that fake phony photo op of Reid and Durbin smiling with Roland Burris. Just listen to the words of your senator from Minnesota, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit, People LIKE ME!"
