Harry Reid-er Involved in Blagojevich Scandal


News reports say US Senate Majority “leader” Harry Reid-er was involved in the controversy over filling the senate seat of the half-black prince, Barack Obama.  FOX News is reporting Reid called Blago six days before the Illinois Governor was arrrested to talk about the seat. Harry Reider reportedly urged Blago NOT to appoint several black people to the post including Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., Congressman Danny Davis and Obama friend Emil Jones.   Instead Harry Reider urged the Blago Wizard to use his magic to appoint one of several white people including Lisa Madigan.  Fox Reports: Sen. John Cornyn, R-TX, said Reid needs to explain his actions.Reid “took the extraordinary step to lobby against two sitting U.S. congressmen and the state Senate majority leader in Illinois, and instead told Gov. Blagojevich that he supported an appointment for an individual who recently lost a U.S. House election,” he said in a written statement, referring to Duckworth. “The people of Illinois deserve a simple explanation from Sen. Reid,” he continued. “Why does he believe these three Illinois officeholders are ‘unelectable’ to the U.S. Senate?”
