Of course, the elite are much, much, much smarter than Palin, so they'd never be caught using hand notes during a speech. Only stupid people do that.

Deal With It, Roland Burris Is A Senator

Roland S. Martin is so on point here, it makes the Roland Burris naysayers look dumber by the minute:

It is total hypocrisy for the naysayers of embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to assert that he didn't have the legal right to appoint Roland Burris to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.

According to the Illinois Constitution, the governor of the state has the sole responsibility for appointing the replacement. Did Blagojevich resign, or has he been impeached? Nope. If you call Springfield, Illinois, and ask for the governor's office, they'll tell you that Blagojevich's name is still on the door.

It seems a lot of folks are excited and happy that Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White took a stand by refusing to sign the paperwork certifying Burris as the Senate appointee.

Yet what these same folks somehow refuse to recognize is that Blagojevich isn't some guy sitting around in his office, twiddling his fingers, flipping through the cable channels with a remote and waiting to get impeached. He is still carrying out his duties as governor.

Did you know that since his arrest in December, Blagojevich has pardoned 22 people? I haven't heard a huge outcry over this tainted governor setting folks free.

Did you know that Blagojevich continues to sign bills that were passed by the General Assembly? U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald cited a pending bill on the governor's desk related to horse racing as a reason for arresting him, but Blagojevich can still sign any bill he so chooses.

Did you know that two days ago, Blagojevich, as determined by state law, set March 3 as the primary and April 7 as the general election to fill the congressional seat of Rahm Emanuel, who resigned after agreeing to become Obama's chief of staff? By the way, guess who signed the certification of that election? Jesse White.

The law says the governor can set a special election to fill a congressional seat, so doesn't the same law state that he can fill a Senate seat?

Yes, Blagojevich's appointment of a U.S. Senate seat is easily seen as being tainted because of what has been described by federal law enforcement officials in their criminal complaint against him. But the reality is that Blagojevich hasn't been indicted, convicted or impeached. And whether we like it or not, no matter how smelly it looks, he still maintains the absolute right to do the job he was elected to do.

Rod Blagojevich has exposed the Democrat leadership for its sheer and utter incompetency. Roland Burris will rightfully gets seated in the Senate as Blago's shrewdness has exposed Harry Reid for the clown that he is because as Sen. Dianne Feinstein pointed out, he has no legal leg to stand on here. Ha!

Person of the Week: Dianne Feinstein

Age: 74

Birthplace: San Francisco, CA

Claim To Fame: Democrat Senator from California since 1992, first & only female mayor of San Francisco

Why She's Person of the Week: for choosing common sense over anti-Bush, left-wing zealotry. In casting her vote in favor of Michael Mukasey as the new Attorney General, Feinstein took a big risk in turning her back to her party's "Bush is Evil" wing. Feinstein was one of two Democrats on the Judiciary committee to vote for Mukasey's nomination, a huge hurdle that would later clear the way for Mukasey to become the country's 81th Attorney General, filling a spot cowardly vacated by Alberto Gonzales.

Not that there should've been any debate about Mukasey's nomination in the first place, because he is certainly qualified for the position of AG and considering all how demoralized the U.S. Justice Department has been of late, its long been in dire need of a leader. But liberal Democrats beholden to groups with blind hatred for anything Bush, tried to use the issue of waterboarding as a means to vote against Mukasey. Not that Mukasey supports waterboarding (which he himself referred to as "repugnant"), just that he refused to say if it was illegal which was his right. Mind you, despite international bans on waterboarding as a torture tactic, the U.S. Congress itself hasn't even voted to say it it illegal, but idiot liberals like Ted Kennedy demanded that Mukasey condemn it.

Feinstein said she was voting for Mukasey because "Mukasey has forged an independent path as a lawyer and federal judge. He has presided over 1,600 cases in almost 19 years on the bench. He has extensive experience on national security cases — Judge Mukasey's answers to hundreds of questions were crisp and to the point, and reflected an independent mind. That's why I intend to vote to confirm him to be our next attorney general. I truly believe he will be a strong advocate for the American people." Good to see a Democrat putting the interests of our people first instead of the interests of the loony Left.
