The ego, it burns!

Oh, holy crap! What is it with the Chicago boyz*

Ronald Burris, Blago's choice to replace Obama, has his post-breathing era covered. Just to make sure the kids don't fuck it up, I guess, he has built a monument to himself. Seriously!

Before I run away screaming about hubris, let me point out the lower right of that image. The tiny corner dedicated to his wife. No birthdate, no litany of ego, er, accomplishments, nothing much at all.

Here's the huge version so you can read his resume. I mean memorial to his monumental ego. I mean monument. Bet he's pissed that he can't fill in the top of that "First African-American in Illinois" with being elected President. Poor baby!

Also, WTF is it with the post-racial folks who think everything should be decided based on race?

"My prayers have been answered," Rush said, "because I prayed fervently that the
governor would continue the legacy established by President-elect Obama, and
that the governor would appoint an African American to complete the term of
President Obama." (source)


Is it 2012 yet?

*meaning all male politicians, not just the black ones.
