Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

Sometimes you just have to laugh.  Because there are some things that are too unbelievable to believe.  If you don't laugh at them, they instantly become serious.

While everyone is abuzz about the Harry Reid comment made some months ago, there is no reason to think that he will give up his Majority Leader position.  Should he? Yes, but he should have done it when the comment first came to light.  By the way Senator Reid, nothing is off the record.  Is there a double standard?  Yes, there has been for many years.  It is nothing new.  If Reid did step down, it is likely that Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) would become the Majority Leader.  No one wants that, especially members of the Senate.

I believe that Sen. Reid should step down, but that will happen soon enough in the 2010 election.  If the citizens of Nevada give Reid another term, they deserve the nuclear waste that has been planned for the state for decades.

All this stuff is believable.  There is a double standard.  Harry Reid may very well be a racist or, at least, make racist comments.  Did Trent Lott move to fast and was he unwilling to fight the s__storm?  Yes, but he is a southern gentleman.

Again, all this is believable.  What appears to be unbelievable and a cause of laughter are the recent remarks of former governor, Rod Blagojevich.  Blago is at it again.

In an interview for Esquire, the former governor revaled he was "blacker than Baracj Obama."  Those are his words.  You can't make this stuff up.

Trying to explain himself, Blago talked about his family and his dad;'s business, and the neighborhood he lived near, etc., etc.  It was on that basis that he made the comparison.

Now as the politician he remains, he is back-tracking on the comment.  In an interview with Chicago's Channel 2, the governor had this to say.  "It was a very stupid thing to say. Obviously, I'm not blacker than President Obama."

Really?  You never know what this guy is going to say or do.  The trial will be amazing.
