Elie change your headline for the Blago story. Rush wanted to accept the appointment of Burris, but he was in no way involved with the corruption. Come on man - you're really blowing it. Total misinformation. Read the AP story and re-post it.

Elie is on the cutting edge of the news! "Senate Democrats will not accept the appointment of Rep. Bobby Rush because he is tainted by the corruption of Gov. Blagojevich." Thanks a lot - the most trusted news source in America.

I was stunned that got through too, but to be fair, it wasn't Elie.

I don't think ANYONE would accept the nomination of Bobby Rush. Good thing Blago didn't nominate him!

Jeez, Elie.

Don't post something unless you read the news article first. Lat, Elie and Eliza should be embarrassed for posting this crap on a site that receives so much traffic.

It is kind of ironic that all the people attacking Elie for putting the wrong person in the article are, in fact, attacking the wrong person.

Roland Burris is the appointee, not Bobby Rush. Rush is just the guy making the pathetic and mind-bogglingly ridiculous racism allegation.

(Rush is also the guy who said, while running -- successfully -- against Obama in a House primary: "Barack went to Harvard and became an educated fool. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it.")

Sorry Elie! Jeez, Eliza Gray.

For those playing along at home, that would be the same "Bobby Rush" who trounced big eared UofC Law professor Barack Obama in a Democratic primary for Rush's Congressional seat. In that same campaign Rush repeatedly used the "is Obama black enough" card, and so did Jesse Jackson on Rush's behalf.

Black leaders who think it's cool to question other black people's blackness are in for a dark four to eight years.

Every article in this morning docket reads: "another example of what's wrong with liberals."

Hey, Elie: two typos.

One: "outrageosly" is not a word.

Two: "client's" should not have an apostrophe.

Seriously? You went to HLS? You should be ashamed of yourself.

screw charity. i'm the charity this year.

I'd imagine the client would be mad if Conn sent its fruit baskets somewhere!

Two days in a row with an apostrophe-s used in morning docket to designate a plural. What a joke.

First SHEEP of the day!

This was a pretty astounding blunder ATL. Come on, some quality control has to happen here.

16 = racist Hofstra grad

Yeah, 16 is right. The apostrophe-s makes me wince when I read it. Though you could redeem yourself, Eliza, if you post a pic of yourself, and we conclude that you're hawt.

That fruit cake does not stand a chance against the Mystal. poor fruit cake.

Is the local charity the Human Fund?

Elie, I like you comment. I am also impressed that, your comment, unlike your post, did not contain any obvious grammatical errors.

so, is there a constitutional problem if Illinois has only 1 senator? Could the drag on for some time with Jesse White refusing to sign Burris' certification and sign Blago retaining his position as Governon (at least for a while)?

Is an unstoppable force about to collide with an immovable object?

Do pigs fly?

Is ATL a blog?

Where is Mystal?

Eliza who?

This is 24. My mistake that Eliza made the post, not Elie. I also take back the superfluous comma in my original comment.

Grins sheepishly.

I love how Senate Democrats waited to see who the appointment was before they decided they wouldn't accept "anybody" that Rod-O appointed.

I wonder what would have happened if Rod-O had accidentally picked the candidate Senate Democrats and Obama want.

ELIZA: YOU NEED SOME REMEDIAL GRAMMAR-SCHOOL LESSONS ABOUT THE PROPER USE OF APOSTROPHES. TWO DAYS IN A ROW + MULTIPLE COMMENTS ON YOUR ERROR THE FIRST DAY = YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULE. LEARN IT. LOVE IT. LIVE IT. IT'S EMBARRASSING. OR AS YOU MIGHT SAY, ITS EMBARRASSING.

28, you are ignorant. Democrats uniformly stated that Blagojevich should not appoint anyone -- before he announced the appointment. Typical conservative mangling of reality. The Secretary of State of Illinois, a Democrat, is Roland Burris's best friend and thinks that he would be a great senator. Yesterday he announced that he refused to certify the appointment even though he conceded that he has a legal duty to do so. This is not about Burris; it is about Blagojevich.

why would a law firm send the fruit baskets that they received from their clients to a charity? seems a little stupid. Unless mysTTTal is illiterate

why would a law firm send the fruit baskets that they received from their clients to a charity? seems a little stupid. Unless someone else needs grammar lessons too

So is Lat the only literate ATL contributor in existence? What's up with no proofreading?

eliza is a graduate of harvard COLLEGE

I don't understand why the fruitcake is up there. Is that related to the fruit baskets? Does Eliza not know the difference? Is it a subtle point that a charitable donation is like a fruitcake: a non-gift? Or is it just an error?

--Confused

I'm not a grammar psycho like some people on here, but seriously, the apostrophe-s makes you look really bad.

Apostrophe is a perfectly acceptable way to make a plural (e.g., pizza's, photo's). Unfortunately for ATL, that's only true in Dutch.

Only a five year sentence for being a traitor?
