NYT article has Bush dead-enders again (at yesterday's lunch) preaching to our new President what geniuses they were -- don't you change a thing!

"It would be a tragedy if they threw over those policies simply because they had campaigned against them," intoned our delusional VEEP, amidst a flurry of other ridiculous and unwanted advice from various losers.  Oblivious they are in their inane hubris, to how harshly history will judge them, idiotic recommendations and all.  Overreach THIS, you fucks!

He's been duly appointed, and fairly soon, he'll have to be certified in the absence of intervening events.  Once certified, the Senate could theoretically stall and investigate, but it won't, as racial pressure and embarassment will further build.

All I can see is that a new governor takes office (soon) after resignation or impechment/removal, the new governor rescinds the appointment and makes a new one (instead of calling elections which could yield a Republican).  The second appointment is quickly certified, and the new Senator is seated.  Expect him to black, and it could even be Burris himself appointed once again.  Even rescinding the appointment will result in some racial outcry, but perhaps less so during the historic, inaugural season, if that's the timing.

Very quick action is indeed the key:  a court may force the secretary to certify Burris before the above steps are taken.   (Republicans *really* enjoying this!)
