Default Funny due to the unintended meaning of one word

From Yahoo News:

Burris, who is black, came to Washington on Monday to claim the seat, though Democratic officials promise he won't be admitted to the Senate carrying the taint of Blagojevich.

The Senate should allow this man to represent Illonois. They have no legal leg to stand on Constitutionally by denying him the opportunity. Also, the Illonois Secretary of State has no legal reason not to certify him. He's broken no laws and neither has Blagojevich for that matter.

If I was Bama I'd fire Patrick Fitzgerald as soon as I was inagurated. This guy has a history of 'showboating' for the media and he still has nothing that he can indict Blagojevich on. That's why he asked for a 90 day extension from a federal judge. Blagojevich will 'walk' if charged with conspiracy or anything else connected to the alleged 'selling' of Bama's seat. Welcome to the next four years of "change".

But it fits so well! I can't say I blame you though but I just don't know what else to call the guy. Mr. President just doesn't work for me. Thoughts?
