Now It’s Racial

Who didn’t see this coming:
Roland Burris – scandal-scarred Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s appointee to fill Barack Obama’s Senate seat – said yesterday Democrats will be accused of racism if they refuse to seat him.
“It is a fact, there are no African-Americans in the United States Senate,” Burris, a former Illinois attorney general, told NBC’s “Today.”
Obama, who had been the only black senator, resigned Nov. 16.
Burris said if Democrats reject his appointment, they’ll send the wrong signal on race relations.
“It could give the appearance . . . Is it racism that’s taking place? That’s a question someone may raise,” Burris said.
