Okay, I'll keep this short and sweet, because I really just need to confirm I am not alone out here. But, does anybody else feel that progressives have a weakness when it comes to challenging talking points, whether they come from the left or the right. Is it an innate sense of fairness that demands we give serious consideration to every cockamamie thought that pierces our eardrum? Case in point, Roland Burriss is a respectable public servant and highly qualified to be the Jr. Senator from Illinois. But, because he was appointed by Blogo, his service will be tainted.  This is the same body that stood and applauded Ted Stevens after he had been indicted.  This is the same body that has not uttered a word about all the scandals that have dogged Norm Coleman. You insert the name of your favorite Senator ___________________and I will provide you with a potential scandal that is worse that Roland Buriss being appointed by Blogo.  TAINTED?  P L E A S E ! ! ! !
