Racist Senator Reid Calls For Firehoses, Dogs
January 6th, 2009 at 11:42 am by Preston Taylor HolmesHarry Reid prevents threatening black man from breaking into the U.S. Senate chambers.
Standing amid a huge throng of reporters and television cameras in a cold and steady rain, Burris, 71, declared that he had been informed that “my credentials are not in order and will not be accepted.”
The former Illinois attorney general said he was “not seeking to have any type of confrontation” over taking the seat that he was appointed to by embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich. But Burris also said he was looking at options for taking the seat.
As much of a political stunt as Burris’ appointment is, he is, by law, qualified to be seated. Sure he’s a product of the Illinois Dim-O-Crack Thug Machine™, but Reid has no legal grounds to keep him out, other than his own dislike for the lesser races.
I can hear Cyndi Lauper singing “True Colors” in the background as Burris walks away, alone, dejected, in the rain, his shoes and socks soaked by a passing D.C. taxi. Heartbreaking.

Geez, Burris is much more qualified than Barack. Why can’t Harry see that?

Bev – obviously. Burris’ skin color is twice as dark thus twice the credibility.
