Reid: ‘Legal authority’ exists to bar Burris - Politics- msnbc.com
Illinois Gov. Blagojevich's appointment of Burris unworthy by association, Reid said, "There is a cloud over Blagojevich, and at this stage, over the state of Illinois. As long as Blagojevich has done the appointing, it's really a tainted appointment." Reid says Governor Blagojevich asked Congressman Danny K. Davis to take the Senate seat of President-elect Obama before offering it to Roland Burris. Reid says Congressman Danny K. Davis turned down the appointment to the Senate when Blagojevich asked him to sit. Reid said Illinois Representative Bobby Rush did not support Obama when he ran for the Senate seat.
There is no racism here. This is about Blagojevich and his criminal thinking and behaving.
