Roland Burris, Senator-for-Life
- Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan will not run against America’s Senator™ Roland Burris. She will also not run for governor, because being Governor of Illinois is like asking for an indictment. (MSNBC)
- Your FDA plans to issue new guidelines for food safety like, I dunno, don’t eat raw cookie dough, maybe? Durrr. (CNN)
- The City of Los Angeles, which is located in our national poorhouse (California), would appreciate donations to cover the costs of Michael Jackson’s funeral. (Entertainment Weekly)
- Republicans just love a quitter, which is why Sarah Palin’s resignation has actually boosted her support among Republicans. Kinda makes sense, since George W. Bush basically quit the Iraq War in 2003, after we “won.” (ABC News)
Gov. Quinn, the RNC vs. McCain, and More
- Illinoisians, this “Pat Quinn” character is your new Governor! You can tell how different he is from Blago because he is bald. Change We Can Believe In! (CNN)
- So after John McCain failed to win them the presidency, the RNC filed a lawsuit to overturn McCain’s favorite law, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act aka McCain-Feingold. Now the DNC has joined the lawsuit… in defense of the act! Thank God for bipartisanship. (MOAR CNN!)
- A picture is worth a thousand words. These two are no exception. (Feministe)
- Chip Saltsman was not able to woo Republicans with his Magic Negro Christmas CDs, so he is dropping out of the RNC Chairman race. (Nashville Post)
- President Obama is considering Republican Sen. Judd Gregg for Secretary of Commerce. Gregg’s replacement would be named by New Hampshire’s Democratic governor, giving Dems 60 Senate seats.
Bye Bye Blago
You will not be missed:
The Illinois Senate unanimously voted to expel embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) from office.
That means Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D) becomes the state’s new governor.
Update: Also,
Moments after removing him from office, the Illinois senate voted unanimously to prevent impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich from ever holding political office in the state again.
Because Blago is exactly the kind of person who would try and run again.
