TAINT WATCH: Appointer dares the Senate to not seat an African-American appointee

Innocent until proven guilty, you fucking fucks.

Senator-appointee Roland Burris struggled through a press conference where the word "taint" was spoken three times, once by Gov. Rod Blagojevich in his introduction. The seventy one year-old Burris seemed confused, and was unclear on how much his office donated to the Governor's re-election campaign. Then Rep. Bobby Rush, who is nine years younger than Burris but seems ten years older, was forced out of what we can only guess is hospice care to defend Burris' reputation. Bobby, too, said "taint," but then went old-school with "hang" "lynch" and "castigate."

No one said "bleep."

This can only lead to open warfare amongst Illinois politicians. And this is a good thing.

What will they use for weapons? It won't be a battle of wits, since all of them would be unarmed.
