AFRAID THEY WILL LOOK TAINTED DUE TO BLAGOJEVICH’S APPOINTMENT OF BURRIS, DEMS REFUSE TO SEAT THEMSELVES
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – (PTSD News) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said today that Democrats will not allow themselves to be seated in the Senate due to the appointment of former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to the forer Senate seat of President Elect Obama by embattled Governor Rod Blagojevich. “There is a good chance the Supreme Court would allow Burris seated, and we can’t have that,” said Reid, “so the Democrats, in the name of integrity will not seat themselves in the Senate.”

“I don’t see what all the fuss is about,” said David Vitters R-La who was recently engulfed in a call girl scandal, “so I guess that means the Republicans will have complete control of the Senate.” “What is most important now,” said Larry Craig, R-Id, "is that all of us in the Senate come together and unite in one chorus saying, ‘Larry Craig is not gay.’”

“Integrity is more important than making laws, protecting the American people or stopping the shredding of the middle class by the Republicans,” said Reid, “so we are staying out. “I guess this means we can continue shredding the middle class,” said new Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell.
