Lots of bad jokes

It's not that I have nothing to say about Blago's attempt to appoint Roland Burris to Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat, or Burris' blunderheaded acceptance of that "appointment," or the Senate's attempt to foil the appointment, or the constitutionality (read: unconstitutionality) of the Senate's ability to refuse to seat an appointed Senator, or what impact this will have on Harry Reid's reputation and ability to lead (I mean seriously, when Reid backs down on this, will it look more ridiculous than when he caved to Lieberman?).

All the more so because any commentary by me would be milk-out-your-nose funny, endearingly poignant, profoundly cynical.

It's just that at this point it seems to me the best thing everyone could do is just ignore it all. No more discussion about it. Ignore Booby Rush's hysterical ramblings. Just shut it out, along with everyone who is earning their underserved, bloated paychecks by feeding on this gravy train with biscuit wheels. Stop giving these clowns - Blagojevich, Burris, Rush, and those who are pushing the idea of race problems due to this silliness - credibility.

Now, when and if armed police prevent Burris from entering the United States Capitol building, that will be worth the commentary.
