    Roland Burris, we hardly knew ye

    There's nothing wrong with Roland Burris and there's nothing wrong with the appointment

    -- Roland Burris

    Since Burris is out of the picture, Genghis would like to remind still-Governor Milorad "Rod" R. Blagojevich, (pronounced #$%!*$) of the $10 that Genghis sent him on Dec. 18th and the promises that the still-Governor made to Genghis at that time. As an American citizen over the age of 30, Genghis is eminently qualified to be Senator and as the 14th Jewish Senator would help to address the underrepresentation of Jews in the in Senate. Moreover, Genghis will not wilt like an unrefrigerated tomato in the face of Senatorial resistance. Like the still-Governor, Genghis doesn't give a damn about the nation or the Democratic Party. Genghis only wants four rent-controlled apartments in Manhattan, a house in the country with an extra floor inserted underneath it, and a few Scottish and Caribbean golf trips. Plus golf lessons because Genghis admits that he doesn't know how to golf. Genghis LOL's at the right-wing smear campaign accusing him of failing to represent Illinois. Genghis visited Chicago in September, and "he totally gets Illinois," according to Genghis. Genghis also promises to buy a house in a fancy Chicago suburb once he cashes in on his office.

    Genghis thanks the still-Governor and promises to use the might of his Senate seat to ensure that such a great, selfless, eloquent man will never be penalized for absurd allegations. Genghis promises to ensure that the still-Governor will never be penalized either.

    Don't tease me. I've had a busy morning and haven't checked the news.

    P.S. Fabulous use of the third person. Next time, throw in a royal we or two for a real winning post.


    You were teasing me. I thought he withdrew. Knowing Roland as I do, I should have known better.


    We are confident that Roland is done for and that the still-Governor will select us to replace him.
