but played the race card in the process:

Taking to the podium at the end of a bizarre, shambolic press conference in which Governor Rod Blagojevich sought to appoint Roland Burris to the US Senate, Congressman Bobby Rush dared white Democratic senators to block a black man from joining their ranks. ...As he left the room, Blagojevich echoed Rush, saying: "Feel free to castigate the appointer but don't lynch the appointee."

So now, Reid will have to either accept the legal nomination of Burris or fight a battle to keep Burris out--a nice racial skirmish that Dems have been loathe to nut up on before. Blago looked around and saw that he was quickly shunned by the party establishment so he decided to telling them to screw themselves and go about his duties.

Blago is the best thing to happen to conservative commentators since the primaries.

As I said before, every time the Dems get ahead, they end up looking stupid. Obama wins, gays slur Blacks for their support of Prop 8. Obama wins, Rahm Emanuel gets caught up in the Blago scandal. Obama wins, liberals are pissed at his selection of Rick Warren to give the invocation and his choices for his cabinet. Obama wins, a Black man is about to be vilified by his own party and the racism charges are already flying.

It's awesome, isn't it?
