2. I suppose I’ll be a stick in the mud and say “that was cute.”

3. Thanks for the laugh, DRJ. It’s still a sad situation. But I guess “hope and change” mean different things to different people.

4. And here is Burris’s meeting with Secretary of the Senate Nancy Johnson Erickson. Caution: NSFW, very nasty.

   And that was just a quorum call, wait ’till they get down to the serious business….

6. Wait, who’s Mongo in this scenario?

7. Mongo is played by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD).

8. Is this a good time to point out that of the three elected black Senators in the history of the United States, two (and the only Democrats) have come from Illinois?

9. Is it still ok to laugh at such things?

   I mean we might get hunted down and such, right?

10. two (and the only Democrats) have come from Illinois?

    Please, stop reminding me of Braun. I keep trying to forget her.

11. OIDC,

12. Scott,

    Your state foisted Dan Rottenkowski and Carol Mostly Fraud on the rest of us, then Blago, and Obama. What are you going to do for repentance? Wear a Packers’ uniform and scream “Da Bears Suck!” in the Loop at lunch?

13. What are you going to do for repentance?

    First off, it’s Dan Rostenguilty and Carol Mostly Wrong… Get it right…

    Second, I refuse to accept responsibility for the stupidity of the rest of this state. I don’t like it here, and have started to claim residence in MO.

14. 13, Oh, you like the would be speaker of the House, “Howdy Doody”, better? The one that lies about how his father loved the union?

15. Look, my options are a little limited, and it still beats Illinois…

16. You’d be welcomed in Iowa. I’m a refugee from the People’s Socialist Republic of Wisconsin, so I won’t suggest you claim there.

17. Rosty makes the others look like the spawns of Satan by comparison.

18. DRJ, I need a shot of humor to start what is shaping up to be a bleak day. My thanks and plaudits.

19. Carole Moseley-Braun
    Carol Mostly Fraud
    Carol Mostly Wrong

    I’ve always heard it pronounced “Carole Measly-Brain.”
