Illinois Senator Dick Durbin had not figured it out Friday when he said the Illinois Supreme Court decision wasn’t good enough.

But it looks as if he and the other all-white Senate Democrat delegation have now.

They have been Blagojeviched.

Maybe Saturday Night Live’s ridicule of white Senate Democrats, plus maybe some more pressure from President-Elect Barack Obama did the trick.

On SNL, Burris was seen hoping to help the Senate follow the example of Utah by seating him.

For those who have not lived in Utah, as I did for three years in junior high school in the mid-1950’s, there were not a lot of non-white faces when I lived there. Actually, I don’t remember any.

When I moved there, Mormons were not even allowed to join the church.

Now, there must be a very low percentage of African-Americans for SNL to use it as an example of what the Senate looks like.

Today, Burris was on TV reading a statement. Not a lot of eye contact.

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna was on WMAQ-TV trying to point out how many different positions Durbin and the Senate Democrats had taken since Blagojevich appointed Burris.
