Harry Reid on Roland Burris: "He obviously is a very engaging, extremely nice man. He presents himself well."

After a meeting this morning.

Presents himself well????

Rush Limbaugh, just now, ridiculing the Democrats' racial attitudes, likened that quote to Joe Biden's famous assessment of Barack Obama: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."

Reid: "I thought he'd beebop in, slinging some jive with a boombox on his shoulder and some chains around his neck, but he wore a suit and knew how to talk and everything!"

rhhardin said...

Reid feels he is speaking for white people.

It's awesome power he has.

Sprezzatura said...

Did Rush say that Burris "hates America," or is it only The Magic Messiah who "hates America" according to Rush?

traditionalguy said...

Now that's important to know about Senator Burris. Does this mean to say that he's not another one of Pres.Obama's Rev. Wright type of friends? Once more Boss Reid is sending signals to Pres. Obama that Power in the new Democrat Regime is not Pres. Obama's until Boss Reid approves.

Coming this summer on your local cable station - Pimp My Senate Seat - a wacky comedy about an up-from-the-ghetto man who accidentally winds up a US Senator!

Written and produced by Harry 'Homie' Reid.

But is he clean and articulate?

Anonymous said...

Is that anything like Joe Biden's "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. ... I mean, that's a storybook, man."?

Jeremy said...

I do think it's fair (or at least fun) to engage in a little game of Imagine If. Wherein we Imagine If Majority Leader Bill Frist refused to seat the lawfully appointed Senator Burris - the only African American Senator.

Kanye West would say that Bill Frist hates Black People.

I think it is a window into the mind of the liberal elite. They are always for you, as long as you remember you are beholding to their good grace in pulling up up from wherever you were. I'd love to know what Reid actually was expecting of the man.

Burris wasn't just found someplace and given something. Well, maybe he was given something, but he certainly didn't appear at the Senate door out of thin air.

Harry Reid apparently thinks he's interviewing a job applicant, and has a nice condescending tone, too.

That's a little different, Mr. Reid, from seating a lawfully appointed Senator in his rightful place. He has his job already - it's YOUR job to support him in carrying it out.

MayBee said...

This is going to sound crazy, but couldn't Reid have met with Burris before he announced his anti-seating stand?

Buford Gooch said...

As I have posted before (always after the end of the thread), Harry Reid made visible his racist stripes when, in 2004 on Meet the Press, he said Clarence Thomas was "an embarrassment" to the Supreme Court and that Thonas' opinions were "poorly written", while at the same time praising Justice Scalia.

Methadras said...

I need to make a retraction. Next to Michael, our intrepid tourettes syndrome moron, Harry "The dumbest man in the Senate, running a close second to Patrick Leahey" Reid is showing promise.

Hey Michael, you ever get the feeling that no matter how much you spew, vacillate, squirm, and basically lie your way into the commentary section that you never feel fully satisfied with that oh-so-fresh feeling until you've sprayed a little FDS where it counts and put the tampon back in?

Freeman Hunt said...

This isn't about political correctness. You can point out that it is hilarious for Reid to say that of a person with Burris' resume wihout political correctness entering the picture.

Methadras said...

John Althouse Cohen said...

Who the hell are you kidding? Right wingers and namely conservatives despise political correctness. Political correctness is what set us up as a society to be on this road of verbal interpitude and duplicity. That's why when they see such a blatant use of it by leftist morons that you support they just throw it back in their hypocritical faces.

For any Republican to even utter the words "political correctness" is hilarious.

This is a party that continues to represent themselves as a "big tent" operation, while at the same time, having someone running to be the head of the RNC sending out "magic negro" CD's.

Michael said...No, Reid is not a racist.

Harry Reid is a 69 year old Mormon.

I've been told that Mormons are very bad White people. Extremely pinkish in a non commie sort of way.

He probably has a few racist attitudes clanking around inside that bony old borderline carcass of his.

Michael, stop denying the obvious - Harry Reid is a bitter old White racist who learned to hate negroes while growing up in the Mormon church.

Harry Reid is also an anti-abortion, homophobe who is strongly in favor of the death penalty which we all know is a modern form of lynching which targets people of African ancestry.

I'm beginning to suspect some reactionary sympathies in you Michael. I sincerely hope that as you mature and move into your high school years you will leave behind your anti-gay and anti-black attitudes.

It's the anti-gay bigotry that sometimes makes me think Lucky is actually a conservative doing an elaborate parody a liberal troll. Surely a true liberal (as he claims to be) would know that calling someone gay as an insult is gaycist.

Any conservative party I'd want to be in would not try to say that Reid's comments were related to race. I don't see the fun in Rush and others doing this. Of course I wouldn't have sent out the Satlsman/Rush song either. It seems that I don't have the proper sensibility to join this fun club of race jokers.

RaceJokers National Committee

A fun time for all*!


*'All' not meant literally.

P.S.
Some conservatives have complained that the Magic song didn't see much opposition when Rush was pushing it on his show. The real fuss came when it was formally introduced into the RNC debate. This situation only proves that there aren't a bunch of media elites looking to attack every hint of un-PC race stuff.

It was only AFTER this was directly related to a major political party that folks started to big-time question it's appropriateness. And, eventually (after plenty of crickets) many conservatives acknowledged it was unwise (thereby implicitly acknowledging (or pretending to acknowledge) the content of the song was problematic)--so these conservatives themselves agree that this was a situation worthy of disapproval.

More precisely many of them agree that this song is unacceptable as "fun" in the daylight, w/ clear connections to the RNC. Which says a lot. They should drop there public concern and tell folks that they don't have any problem w/ the song, and FU to anyone who does, and the song should be made into the RNC theme song so they can stand up the the PC police.

Cedarford said...

I'm sick to death of PC.

The Republicans trying to use PC as a ju jitsu tactic is just as lame.

I look forward to the day when affirmative action ends, identity politics abates, and people can openly say Burris or Obama made a stupid mistake or are acting lazy or appear ignorant without the media, the usual race-baiters, or right wing talk radio having a cow over it.

I want Obama to succeed. I want Republicans to get their act together. I want an end to unaccountable Ruling Elites that have bypassed democracy, corrupted the system, and now run the country from the Imperial City, NYC.

If we don't succeed, get our act together, end the rampant corruption of money injected into determining outcomes more favorable to the Elites than the masses...We may have to face a reality that the present US system has failed, both Parties cannot rule effectively, and neither can "unfettered free markets". Where drastic action is absolutely necessary.

Then we have to consider as a viable alternative - a 3rd, violent revolution (after the Colonial and Civil War ones). Military caretaker rule. With a complete revamping of our Constitution, legal system, regulatory structure, tax code, social welfare system. With a goal to restore the Republic to functioning condition.

Obama and the Democrats fail, after the Republican failure, we are another 4 trillion in debt and closer to needing a real Revolution.

I've said that about a number of people, including in private on some interview committees I've been on (and let's face it, his meeting with Reid was for all intents and purposes, a job interview.)

What does that have to do with race? Rush seems to see everything as racial, even when it's not.

John Stodder said...

Wow. This guy is a sad, sad case. Whoever goaded Michael into this statement must've struck a cluster of very sensitive nerves. Pleading that "I'm not gay and women like my weiner" has got to be one of the most overcompensating outbursts I've ever seen, on- or off-line.

It puts pretty much everything he has to say here in its proper context. My goodness.

Simon said...

Eli Blake said...
"and let's face it, his meeting with Reid was for all intents and purposes, a job interview."

You see, that way of looking at it is how Reid et al got themselves into this mess. This wasn't a job interview, Eli - Burris already got the job. This was the meeting where the new middle manager meets the other middle managers, and the old managers seethe in impotent hatred of the new guy, fully aware that the decision as to whether he stays or goes is above their pay grade. This was a meeting in which Harry Reid and the Senate Democratic Leadership desperately searched for some way to get out of this with their dignity intact - to either give Burris the seat he's so plainly entitled to despite their contrary bloviations, or to talk him into dropping the matter.

This will end in a humiliating climbdown by Reid, or a humiliating defeat in the courts for Reid - one or the other. And he knows it. He ran his mouth before the facts were in, and now he's trying to find some way out of the bluff, despite looking more ridiculous every day.

Freeman Hunt said...

In addition to what Simon said, Reid's statement is extremely condescending. Burris isn't some guy off the street who nobody has ever heard of. He's got an inarguably Senatorial resume. Of course he presents well. What on Earth would have made Reid think there was any possibility that he didn't?

That's why people are saying it smacks of racism. Would Reid say that of a white guy with the same resume as Burris?

Eli, here's an abbreviated Burris resume:

1964-1973 served in various capacities such as tax accountant, tax consultant, commercial banking officer, and vice-president at Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company (now Bank of America)
1973-1977 Director of IL Department of Central Management Services
1979-1991 Comptroller of IL
1991-1995 IL Attorney General
1995-present Lawyer, private practice. Campaigned for several offices, including a run for governor where he was supported by Barack Obama.
2002-2009 Manager/CEO of Burris & Lebed Consulting, LLC

Wouldn't anyone pretty much assume that a guy with that resume "presents well?"

Lyle said...Why are minority politicians, especially black ones, always described as strong and proud?

Because they are. Blacks are strong, proud, dignified people, filled with rage and hope, an historic people whose rich heritage and proud legacy we should celebrate and whose glorious contributions we should recognize every month of the year not only in February.

Are minorities or African-Americans uniquely strong and proud?

Minorities = no, blacks = yes.

Asians, Hispanics, East Indians, American Indians and even White/Pink people all have their own unique qualities.

Asians = smart, model minorities, law abiding, good in school esp. spelling bees and math, better at copying than creating, unathletic, males tend to be nonsexual, females tend to be the embodiment of sexual passion, can't drive worth shit despite making excellent cars.

Hispanics = vibrant, spicy, hard working, not too bright, generally short, very vibrant, they tend to vibrate a lot which is apparently why they are known to be hard workers. They're trying to burn of the excess vibrational energy.

East Indians = good at math, computer software, donuts, slurpees, dark but nothing like the blacks/Africans. Like Jews only darker and less funny or irritating.

American Indians = spiritual, live in harmony with nature, tend to get choked up when visiting garbage dumps, big fans of the fire water, pretty much did nothing of value in North America before or after the White man showed up.

White/Pink people = racist, sexist, homophobic or homosexual, tend to enjoy dominating and oppressing EVERYTHING, can't dance, run, jump or sing, need brown people to do their dirty work and yellow people to do their brain work and need black people as a litmus test to prove they are morally superior to Other White People.

Zachary, that doesn't sound like you. I see you as one of the best commenters, as is Freeman. She made an excellent comic comment, and you're diminishing yourself being so sour and insulting.

Hey Coulter is good.

The media's fawning over Obama knew no bounds, and yet, in the midst of the most incredible media conspiracy to turn this jug-eared clodhopper into some combination of Winston Churchill and a young Elvis, you were being a bore if you mentioned the liberal media...

There is no other explanation for the embarrassing paeans to Obama's "eloquence." His speeches were a run-on string of embarrassing, sophomoric Hallmark card bromides...

Somebody else noticed! That's the reaction.

Unfortunately the alternative was McCain.

Coulter is worth reading for the one-liners.

rhhardin said...

I'm not able to follow the commenter infighting. I assume it's all misunderstandings, the basis of all true agreement.

Sounds like him just fine. What you are seeing is the typical meanderings of a weak mind and what do you do? Well, you sort of show up, pat him on the back, brush back his hair and ask him why he is being meanie monster. As far as diminishing himself? Well, the proof is in his character and the little glimpses we get to see of them like the one you commented on.

Poor, poor ZPS. So misunderstood.

That is because you have a pure soul Rh.

Well,except for the chicken molesting thing.

But otherwise very pure.

Trooper York said...

Garage, hdhouse is senile and can't follow the conversation too well. He doesn't get that you are one of the more liberal commenters here and were mocking the right wing view.

Hdhouse just gets a little testy when his depends are wet. The home care worker went to the bodega for some smokes and plantains.

KCFleming said...

Gee.
Garage is really a racist what wears a sheet. Who knew?

Trooper York said...

No the car in garage mahal's garage is covered with a sheet. It's a 1976 Rambler in mint condition.

Hdhouse is just confused again. I hope he doesn't wander outside again and tell everyone he was the inspiration for Mad Men.

KCFleming said...

Oh, I get it.
My dad's senile and also doesn't get abstract humor like what GM laid down.

Poor hdhouse.
Those new GPS locators can come in handy, though, so I hope he's still got one clipped to his pants cuffs.

Why the anger over a Senate appointment? It seems far more personal than during the election! Oddly enough it seems to be aimed at those who believe Burris is an idiot, but should be seated anyway (and who think Reid is a weasel.)

garage mahal said...

Two regular stuck up for me, in their own way. I don't know what to say. And Trooper, it's a 86 Mercedes in mint condition. You're good. Real good.

Trooper York said...

I figured that man.

I just thought that since your pollitics are stuck in the Jimmy Carter administration your car would have been too!

(Just kidding dude, I didn't want it to get all mushy).

While Freeman's comment here was right on, she left a very bad taste in my mouth after her comments in the "Milk" thread last week. But you're right. I won't let things carry over into other threads.

This is the same Harry Reid who said in his remarks about the recently completed, over-budget Capital Visitor's Center,

"In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it's true."

But it's no longer going to be true, noted Reid, thanks to the air conditioned, indoor space.

And that's not all. "We have many bathrooms here, as you can see," Reid continued. "Souvenirs are available."

I wonder if Harry will tell us how Burris smelled or if Roland offered him a souvenir?

All I want to add is that this thread sure improved in the last few hours. It was looking pretty bleak around, say, 2:26. If you graphed troll stupidity over time you could get yourself a bell curve.

Freeman -- keep up the good work.

Garage -- I'll vouch for your liberal bona fides too. Maybe today is national "not getting mockery" day.

Yup, garage is as liberal as the day is long.

Longer, if you count the spare hours stuffed next to the extra ballots in the trunk of his Mercedes (for electoral emergencies, dontcha know).

Heh. Hell, I could fit a few whole voting machines in my trunk. You haven't noticed a grey benz running back and forth around the twin cities recently, have ya ')

Reid: "Burris is certainly one of the better smelling Negroes seeking my permission to join the Senate. All Bayberry Rum and Sandalwood, that one.

Of course, my only other direct "smelly neeger" experience is President/President Elect Obama -- who, by the way, is NOT my boss.

Samboma (inside joke) is a bit B.O.-ish. I mean he just cotton-pickin' works his heart out in the gym. But his passion for cane syrup on his hoecakes almost always sweetens him right up. And fortunately, he was never around here much. Those black boys sure can run, huh?

Anywho. No black American Senator in this house smells nearly as bad as any of the red, yellow, black and/or white visitors we have had to endure in the Capitol restrooms. Bejeebers! I had to dry clean my temple garments three times a week! And now that I think about it, no neeger Senator smells nearly as bad as as any of the dozens and dozens of neeger Congressmen/women/ whatever who swing by my office on occasion.

My staff told me not to say this. But it's true."

Wait, how does this work? Does that make me gay?

Nah, that would be caffeine-free diet coke, or mebbe beer.

Freeman Hunt is a habitual piece of garbage, so I can understand why there would be a lot of arguing in here based on whatever inane bullshit she's spewing

You know Zach, up until now I considered you one of the more sane lefties on this blog. Now with that statement you proved yourself to be nothing more than a useless tool.

Stay in your parents basement.

KCFleming said...

But Hoosier, she didn't clap for the Harvey Milk movie, so ipso facto, quid pro quo, res ipsa loquitur, and shamma lamma ding dong, proves all subsequent discussions must include unresolved anger directed at her in any unrelated threads.

Sumpin' like that.

Hoosier Daddy said...

I see Pogo. I guess I'd probably be like that too if I was in my
20's, able bodied and still living with mom and dad.

Freeman Hunt said...

she didn't clap for the Harvey Milk movie

No, no, I haven't seen Milk yet. What I did was worse. I dared agree with you that a public street event which includes public sex, peeing on people, drinking pee, and masturbating on people was disgusting. How could I? Horrors!

Hoosier Daddy said...

I won't see Milk because the bio of a minor city official in
1970's San Francisco has about as much appeal to me as rearranging my sock drawer.

Plus I can't stand Sean Penn.

KCFleming said...

I agree, Freeman; I was being very oblique, using "clap for" the film as a stand-in for what you wrote, so as not to wake the young man, and stir his rage yet again.

I saw a trailer for Rourke in The Wrestler last night. (Rourke dissed Penn's performance.) Now I'd like to see the film.

Only bad part, it's got the clichéd girlfriend-stripper thing. Is it like some state law in California that all movies must have girlfriends who are strippers-with-a-heart-of-gold in them? Or is that just a local ordinance?

Freeman Hunt said...

Ah, now, I see.

girlfriends who are strippers-with-a-heart-of-gold in them

It's hooker with a heart of gold lite.

KCFleming said...

I know it's supposed to be a male fantasy, but come on. Can't writers come up with any other female character and make it fit?.

It's like the ubiquitous bathtub scene, lazy as hell.

Ditto. On both counts. Plus, most movies these days suck anyway.

" most movies these days suck anyway."

I'd see "The Sock Drawer Rearranger".

That was exactly my attitude, but I ended up seeing it and, really, overcome that. It's worth it.

former law student said...

Quite the opposite. Freeman is a very engaging, extremely nice young woman, who, judging from her avatar, presents herself well.

And I agree with William: Over the course of a lifetime, I have received an insufficient number of blowjobs, (always from women, natch!) To make things worse, during the same lifetime I have received a superabundance of household maintenance requests from the same women.
