Illinois GOP Chairman Andy McKenna said U.S. Sen.  Roland Burris' appointment was an "embarrassment to the people," hours after Burris claimed he was not guilty of lying to a state House panel.

McKenna issued a statement Sunday evening.

"Today Roland Burris provided an object lesson in why Blagojevich Democrats should have stripped Rod Blagojevich of his appointment powers in December and kept their promise to people of Illinois to hold a special election," he wrote. 

Burris' appointment was an "embarrassment to the people of Illinois," McKenna wrote.

"This continuing national embarrassment could have been avoided if Blagojevich Democrats had simply kept their promise to the people of Illinois and allowed them, instead of Rod Blagojevich, to choose Illinois junior Senator."... .

Where were these stinking hypocrites during the eight years their George W. Bush embarrassed Americans and the world with his subnormal intelligence, foolish press conference performances, nonsense statements, and failed policies?

Republicans self-destructed in November 2008 with their ridiculous McCain-Palin ticket.  Now, their only role is apparently to mount opposition and dead ender scorched earth obstruction to each of President Obama's initiatives.  They are not patriots and they have no love of their nation, else they would find some constructive role for themselves as they lick their wounds and seek to rebuild a political party that is in shambles.

I predicted in mid-December that Republicans would never let the Rod Blagojevich affair go.  They cannot.  Hope springs eternal in their warped little minds.  Blagojevich offers them the slenderest of threads of an opportunity to eventually mount a Monicagate-like assault on President Obama even as he works diligently to undo the disasters their embarrassment of a president caused.
