Remember Roland Burris?

ditto!

and, one hopes, Burris is not the only one who is going to take this stand!

It's remarkable how the political press corps fetishizes irony.

He has nothing to lose, and everything to gain:

Exactly!
I don't see anything that makes me love the AP lede.

It will be something else he can put on his gigantic grave.

That's because Burris' corruption is material, Blanch Lincoln's corruption is ideological (http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=2907&kaid=103&subid=111):

DLC | New Dem Of The Week | January 22, 2001

New Dem of the Week: Blanche Lincoln
.
U.S. Senator, Arkansas
.
New Democrat Blanche L. Lincoln of Arkansas made history in November 1998 when, at age 38, she became the youngest woman ever elected to the Senate. She quickly made her mark in the chamber as a founding member of the Senate New Democrat Coalition.
.
Now Lincoln has a chance to make history again from her new seat on the pivotal Finance Committee in the evenly divided Senate. There she will be in a position to influence not only tax policy, but critical health matters such as prescription drug coverage and Medicare reform.
.
The Finance Committee "is where the most action is," says Lincoln. "With the number of seniors in this state and with the highest poverty rate among seniors in the country, it was important for the committee to have the kind of perspective we have in Arkansas."

Blanche Lincoln is a "founding member" of the Senate New Democrat Coalition, the name of the Senate caucus of the radical, ideological centrist organization the "Democratic Leadership Council" ("DLC").
.
Blanche Lincoln believes in defying her popular constituents in favor of her corporate constituents; it's her political philosophy --the "Third Way" centrist ideology of the DLC/New Democrats.
.
Why, what a coincidence!!
.
Look here: Ben Nelson just so happens also to be a New Democrat/DLC'er ( http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=253373&kaid=103&subid=111 ):

DLC | New Dem Of The Week | June 1, 2005
.
New Dem of the Week: Ben Nelson
.
U.S. Senator, Nebraska
.
When a bipartisan group of 14 Senators gathered last week in the Capitol, they struck a blow against polarization and a short-sighted effort to radically change the U.S. Senate. Their compromise on judicial nominations, temporary though its effects may be, represented a triumph of common sense. Seven members from each party came to a genuine and sound agreement and they did it in the midst of a nearly poisonous atmosphere that had been threatening to grow still worse. In doing so, they prevented the Senate's Republican leadership from changing the chamber's rules to require up-or-down majority-wins votes on every nominee to the federal judiciary and averted a looming "nuclear option."
.
Chief among the deal's architects was Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. In his success, he revealed both a respect for bipartisanship and a faith in sane politics over partisan orthodoxy. For weeks leading up to the impending confrontation, he worked quietly to cobble together and bolster up a group of leaders who crossed party lines and advocated a reasoned stand down.

Yep, that's Ben Nelson, radical centrist, being lauded by fellow radical centrists in the New Democrat Coalition for his "faith" in bipartisanship.
.
It's these lunatics' political ideology that corrupts their decisions, not just their venality and self-interest.
.
That's why the materially corrupt machine pol Burris can see the benefit of at least posing as a populist, whilst the DLC/New Democrat cabal that truly controls the Senate literally fixates on how best to reject what ordinary Democrats expect from a popularly-elected government.
.
As we are beginning to see, that "common sense" "Third Way" political ideology practiced by the Lincoln/Nelson center-wing is more dangerous to democracy than the common machine corruption embodied by the appointment of Roland Burris.
.
They don't care that "health care reform" will be deeply unpopular --they'll blame the rightist backlash on liberals again, and side with the Republicans when they gain back control in a couple of years.
.
It's what they do, Pafro.

Might want to change your name to PalinintheUnemploymentOffice.

I guess she isn't going to be the Presidentess then. I was soooo looking forward to Thanksgiving when she would say "F*#k the pardon, I'll twist it's head off myself".

All the way from Oz, just for you, mate!

Keep in mind that Palin's T-Day video still lives!

Congratulations jcapan! I'm going to have a drink in your honor this evening.

You have been for a few years now. Your very dark skinned first son bears a striking resemblance to you.

I'm so glad for you.

Congratulations, jcapan!

I will ftp you a cigar as soon as Gore fixes the internet!

Snark aside, congrats!

B) Why the heck are you here typing with us? Go bond with your new progeny man! We promise to be here when you get back.

"StaurtSzchman"
You are an online criminal responding to one of your very numerous aliases.. Disgusting in its extreme.
(It is a travesty of justice that this BLACK CRMINAL continues to roam free while the justice system grinds slowly in apprehending him).

Despite the Caucasian sounding aliases used by this man and his wife, as I have frequently stated here and elsewhere, this online Vagabond Staurtzechman is a BLACK THUG who stalks, robs and harasses innocent users of the web.

Tracking innocent people like me online, using Trojans illegal wire taps and all manner of technology based criminality to break into innocent peoples lives and ROB them. On this site alone he has aliases which number in excess of eighty!
This crook and his wife can be viewed on http://www.akbarshabazz.com.

They operate numerous LIE and ROBBERY fueled blogs and organizations replete with fake officers bilking an unwitting public.

“Project 21” is one of the numerous establishments of this criminal. Example, David Almasi-the so called WHITE man at the helm of the affairs of this company does not exist. Despite the extensive digital history created including a doctored face book page, this man and almost all the officers of this and all the organizations this criminal duo creates are non existent—Pictures of people used without their consent all a part of the elaborate SCAM and criminal misrepresentations by this man and his accomplices.

You are a despicable low life who targets innocent women and children for the most violent crimes while illegally wiretapping, tracking computers and misleading reporters and most people whjo investigate your violent crimes.

Hey StaurtSzchman aka RustyReturns aka Jcapan the stunning number of numerous aliases used here which I have confirmed to be you, you can blitz and Cyberleech here as you have done with religious zest as is common with Predators like you BUT eventually you will be jailed because serial Predators like you belong in jail. Time alone stands between you and your inevitable prosecution and jail time.

Yes, I am fully aware of the seriousness of the statements I make here about this man and his numerous aliases.
I an Attorney and have a Master of Laws Degree and would not make statements on a public forum unless I had absolute certainty of the conduct of this criminal.

Even though this man and his criminal accomplice contribute to the Associated Press and other news outlets I do not think that should prevent a sustained and vigorous investigation of this Reprobate.

Online originating crimes such as wiretaps and computer bugs do not lend themselves to short term resolution but require sustained and vigorous investigation to route felons like you Staurtszchman aka Palininatowel aka Nathan777 aka so many many others.

The first amendment and criminal adroitness in subterfuge can only take you so far. Your deceit of the public, reporters etc. and your continuing commission of heinous crimes under the cover of the web will be the very rope on which you will be prosecuted.

You are a vicious prevaricator, a criminal and vile FELON. As is the usual modus operandii of criminals of your ilk, you will continue leeching on here and on the other sites commenting and using so many aliases in a vain attempt to appear like a normal user while tampering with material which has already identified you and your numerous aliases beyond a modicum of doubt.

We have a robust and thriving justice system, ARMED ROBBERS, STALKERS, VICIOUS FELONS like you (using the Internet as cover) using technology as your weapon of choice will be treated like the feckless and violent felons they are! You will be vigorously prosecuted and jailed.

You are a VICIOUS UNREPENTANT FELON!

kaff, kaff...

Anyway, congrats!

It upsets me no end that no one ever accuses me of being as psychotic as the rest of you. I am EVERY bit as deranged as the rest of you folks. I will not be ingnored. Do not make me taunt you a second time.

See what you've done? I misspelled ignored.

If someone has accused me of being psychotic, I must have just thought you were one of the voices in my head. I pay very little attention to them. They're crazy.

Gratz!

Please take your ramblings to a cop or a psychiatrist. I don't care which.

“OhioLib”

Thank you for your comment?? It was a strange remark to make.

I would hardly classify identifying Staurtszchman, DeeinColumbia, PalininaTowel and Nathan777 etc. etc. as the aliases of a criminal enterprise CRIMINALS (“Eve Sharon Moore of the website “BlackFemaleInterracialMarriage” or her husband “AkbarShabazz”) as rambling.

I am an Attorney and so yes, the police and authorities have been contacted -- and as I indicated the process of prosecuting technology criminals is a long and sustained process.

However, I am alerting the public about these criminals and will continue to do so. I hope these CRIMINALS will be exposed on the news before they are prosecuted. It will save a lot of people the problems which I have endured for a long time from these Predators and likely Pedophiles.

It is normal for a law abiding citizen to alert the public of criminals amd crimes so they can avoid falling prey to same.
I will continue to alert the public until these felons are exposed by the press, prosecuted and jailed.

lawyermommy,

I love you! I can't get enough of your inspired lunacy! More and longer rants, please!
.
By the way, I am also Joe Klein!

Hey, High Sheriffs,

What's it going to take to ban this lunatic? She makes me urn for the sensible rantings of textee and ilikechips. Besides the obvious lunacy of the charges leveled (sorry, sacredh, that you don't get included in the big giant mega-conspiracy "lawyermommy" insists is going on around her, where every random internet commentator on a long-running blog is part of some incomprehensible scheme to harrass her), this is trolling pure and simple.
.
This topic, either born at the depths of a feverish imagination or signs of a true mental disorder, is utterly irrelevant to anything that would ever be discussed here. Its unrelated personal pique expressed, lashing out at random people on an anonymous but mainstream blog. Its trolling, its obnoxious, and actually its really quite sad.
.
I think you should do something about it. This garbage is ruining your site.

Get a grip, lawyermommy. Would you want your kids to see these lunatic postings?

I have a couple of degrees myself and all that proves is that almost anyone can get one. I still say that it's virtually impossible for any one person to keep the separate characteristics of that many personnas intact and still function. The sheer volume of posts alone would almost preclude having a work career (or a personal life). Again, look closely at the syntax. They're distinct and separate.

Get a grip, lawyermommy. Would you want your kids to see these lunatic postings?

“Spob”,
Huh? What a foolish retort. “Yours” and "other" asinine responses were of course expected.

This "commenter" blitz is the usual modus operandii of online technology criminals and thieves.

Pathetic and ineffective--Blitz, cyberleech and attempt to deflect cogent representations.
That tack has not and cannot be effective with someone like me, who has been and is being criminalized by these felons and has studied and pursued for years the prosecution of these felons whom I have identified here and elsewhere.

PS "SPob"-- My family, other women with children are in large part the reason I will continue to pursue the prosecution and incarceration of these felons who believe their use of wiretaps and computer manipulation and lies will thwart reporters and some in law enforcement alike.

Your contrived and transparently idiotic entreaty following my strong statement about ongoing and vicious criminality against me is bogus, churlish and as usual ineffective.

lawyermommy,

I am also Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Van Jones, Joe Klein, Karen Tumulty, Jay Newton-Small, Michael Scherer, everyone who has ever posted here, and -- and this is the really freaky part -- you.
.
And I'm not kidding.

Thank you. It seems to me that the country is headed for a train wreck and the people who claim they love it the most are the ones putting the pedal to the metal trying to derail it. We live in curious times.

I wasn't trying to infer that getting a degree was nonsense. It just isn't that hard. You take your classes, write your papers, take the tests and if you pass them you get your degree. A triple digit IQ and a little studying is all it takes. Getting the piece of paper didn't impress me. Getting a job did. I didn't even bother to attend the graduation ceremony. I said an aunt had died in Cleveland and that I had to take my mother to the funeral. I went to see the Rolling Stones instead at Cleveland Stadium. Cap and gown, a boring motivational speech or two and half hours of the Stones. Easy choice.

Yes, stuart, after I wrote my smart aleck comments, I took a look at her ramblings. She has my great sympathies.

Oregon JC had to remind me, palininatowel.

In all honesty, I have no idea what the hell to even think of this. And I'm not even sure that I want to know where it's coming from. It's like a magic eye puzzle. Stare at it long enough and you still have no idea what it's supposed to be.

SZ: I just popped out of the shower and checked in before logging off. I have to tell you upfront...I have never been in a coffee shop in my life. How weird is that? I've been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame many times, the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Pete's a couple of times, the Alamo, over 300 concerts, visited at least a third of the states and three different countries, but I've never been in a coffee shop. I think that explains my rudeness. Resisting temptations just isn't something I'm good at. I even used to date a hooker. Talk about temptations. I almost got into a fist fight with my MIL's minister last week. See what I mean?

You're right, stuart. But sometimes it's just too much to resist.....
