Like school on Christmas Day...

Roland Burris has no class:

"If there was no Martin Luther King Jr. and no Roland Burris, there would be no Barack Obama in the White House today," Burris said to cheers at a Rainbow PUSH Coalition breakfast in Chicago. "We must recognize, friends, that we all stand on each other's shoulders."

I have a visceral dislike of people who feel the need to credit themselves. Go pass some fucking legislation, Senator. Go out there and do your job. Surprise somebody. Make something out of that damn appointment. And then kick ass in 2010. Shake up the world, Senator. We'll all be calling you a fucking prophet soon enough.
