		<description>The transcript might have actually caught Reid saying the &quot;N-word&quot; which is probably why he&#039;s squirming, cause he&#039;s trying to remember EXACTLY what he said to Blago when he called him to pressure him not to appoint JJJ to the seat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If he remembered what he said, his appearance on MTP is more relaxed and confident and he could tell Gregory to drink a glass of STHU.</description>

		<description>I bet that appointment doesn&#039;t give homegirl nothing to do except wave her title - the real wiseguys are doing the actual work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If she was THAT PROMINENT in Nevada politics, we would have heard of her before Reid dragged her out to prop himself up as &quot;not being a racist...&quot;</description>

		<description>For once, I remember DL Hughley saying this about the Mets&#039; John Rocker when Rocker went off with bigoted comments and said he had had three black people to his house for dinner:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;When you can number how many POC have been in your house, you&#039;re a bigoted Mofo..&quot; LOL</description>

		<description>Cricket network went offline, so  I couldn&#039;t respond until now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I dunno; I think you&#039;re reading much too much into what I am writing, which is some cases is putting stuff out there thinking out loud.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like I said before, Blago has thown a monkey wrench in all  this, and the reason why Richardson has been thrown under the bus (according to Mrs. Alan Greenspan tonight on NBC News) is that that shyt back home in New Mexico is getting too hot to handle, and that Obama couldn&#039;t take  &lt;i&gt;two&lt;/i&gt; effing problems at the same time.  He said he wanted his Cabinet to be relatively clean.  To be clean is to inspire confidence that you ain&#039;t gonna screw people around.  That&#039;s what Blago has done in previous shady stuff, and this is what he is trying to do with Burris, generate a smoke screen and getting black folks excited that no one wants to seat a black man or woman in Obama&#039;s hallowed seat. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I want to see the breadth and width of Reid&#039;s contribution to this mess.  But then again, outside of an outright death threat, Blago could have sloughed off any cajoling he was getting from &lt;i&gt;anybody.&lt;/i&gt;  He could have kept it clean by not expecting some kind of beneficence or post in exchange, and talking shyt for the recording devices that he half-knew were there.  It was his decision and he decided to play games, like (paraphasing Edna Ferber) he was some petty Chicago Nero.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are ways, and there are ways in which people can say, I helped so and so get a leg up at this agency or that office.  But it seemed kinda tired, at least to me.  And ingenuous.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My late dad (I have had two) in his position of high bureaucracy, helped a few white guys get some jobs when they were fired after decades at their companies.  A few of these guys he didn&#039;t know from Adam, but he made inquiries and helped these men continue to be breadwinners for their families in low to middle management positions &lt;i&gt;when he was supposed to be insuring that blacks and people of color get a fair deal.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He didn&#039;t go broadcasting about it, either.  And he didn&#039;t have to do it, but he did it out of loyalty for friends or underlings.  And when he told me about it, there was no crowing, no &quot;look at these mofos now,&quot; it was no &quot;look what I did for these so and sos,&quot; it was just a quiet acknowledgment that he was responsible for a lot of stuff that he hadn&#039;t expected to assume...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like I said, Reid may not know how to talk about people, especially under the withering examination of David Gregory of MTP.  He stuttered and stumbled and &lt;i&gt;he was fearful.&lt;/i&gt;  A guy who has nothing to lose or has no guilt doesn&#039;t act in this way.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m afraid that I am repeating myself, so I will say no more about it for now.</description>
