Two for Tuesday: Blagojevich and Burris -- Verse-Case Scenario by Tony Peyser

"Shouldn't you," asked my BuzzFlash editor Chad

IL Congressman Rush, A Major Burris Supporter, Claims Senate Is "Last Bastion Of Plantation Politics"

That uses words such as "plantation"
When a Black man from your state, no less,
Will soon be running the nation.
