Democrats Ready to Steal Yet Another Senate Seat

After openly stealing Senate seats in Illinois (Burris), Pennsylvania (Specter), and Minnesota (Franken), the Democratic party has changed laws to steal yet another Senate Seat.

Kind of makes you proud to live in a Democracy , eh? The people's voice is being heard. It's really hard to understand people that are upset at Townhall meetings, right?

Signs point to Kirk for interim senator
By Matt Viser and Frank Phillips, Globe Staff September 24, 2009

Governor Deval Patrick huddled with a small group of trusted advisers last night to finalize his choice for an interim US senator, with indications pointing to former Democratic National Committee chairman Paul G. Kirk Jr., who has the strong backing of the immediate family of the late Edward M. Kennedy, as the overwhelming favorite.

A person with knowledge of the process said last night that former governor Michael S. Dukakis, considered a leading candidate for the appointment, was unlikely to be chosen. At the same time, senior Democrats in Washington told The New York Times that they were certain Kirk would be the choice...........

Team Obama Hiring Attorneys

The media and the blog world have proclaimed Obama's innocence in the Blagojevich/Chicago corruption scandal. The essence of the story is that Obama's lawyer claims Obama and his staff did nothing wrong. What a shocker, eh? Maybe Blagojevich should just put out an email memo from his attorney saying he did nothing wrong?

Read the report/memo/email here. It is sort of hard to find and you may be disappointed about the information presented. It certainly sounds like it was written by a lawyer as it quite brief. He justifiably seems to be careful not to incriminate Obama and his cronies.

Meanwhile Obama and his future (?) White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel are out of the country and refusing to answer questions. Remember the promise of an open and transparent administration? If you believed that to begin with, have I got a Senate seat in Illinois to sell you.

And, Obama's top aide (Rahm) is busy hiring the best legal advice money can buy because of his entanglement in this corruption. You would think these guys would look to New York for guidance in this mess and give the darn Senate seat to an unqualified Democrat with the proper name.

There is a lot of talk about cleaning up the corruption in the Chicago rat's nest. I guess if all the rat's move to DC that might help Chicago?

A Kennedy Wants a Senate Seat

Caroline Kennedy is rumored (as reported by all the major media sources) to have an interest in being a United States Senator. The tale is that she would be appointed to the seat vacated by the future Secretary of State, Hillary. Of course the current situation is perfect for her as it would seem a bit much that she would actually campaign and win the seat. After all, she is a Kennedy. And if a Kennedy wants to be a United States Senator then let nothing stand in the way. It is also reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr is not interested in playing a Senator.

The media of course is all a twitter. You can just imagine the sensations running up and down Chris Matthew's legs.

Of course, unlike a governor running for the Vice President's office, there will be no discussion of qualifications. After all, she is a Kennedy. She will not be quizzed on the capitals of various countries or asked about newspapers that she reads. The dynasty must continue. We are just lucky she has chosen to grace our lives with her inherited abilities to rule the common folk. I suppose if she needs guidance she can always turn to Ted.

And certainly Teddy has been a mouth piece for American justice during his tenure in public life. One cannot be more mesmerized by the infamous Ted Kennedy quote:

"Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?"

Certainly that statement has no relevance here as a Kennedy acquires a US Senate seat without an election.

I did notice a blog reporting on the dismal fact that since she cannot be anointed until Hillary resigns, and Hillary is not resigning until the appointment. So she will probably end up being the 100th Senator on the seniority list. Certainly we can hope and pray that there is still some justice in the world and this can be remedied. Perhaps by simply bending the rules. Maybe Papal decree would be in order here. Or go up the ladder one notch to Harry Reid.

Ah, change. What a wonderful thing it is.
