Myth: He was GRINNIN' & SKINNIN'

The DATE & DAY was - - -Mon Oct 19, 7:04 pm ET - - Shunned Illinois senator suddenly relevant

For Democrats determined to get a health care bill, Sen. Roland Burris is like the house guest who couldn't be refused, won't soon be leaving and poses a plausible threat of ruining holiday dinner. Suddenly, he can no longer be ignored.

The Illinois Democrat, appointed by disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, says he'll only vote for a bill to provide health care to millions more Americans as long as it allows the government to sell insurance in competition with private insurers.

And he says he won't compromise.

"I would not support a bill that does not have a public option," Burris, 72, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "That position will not change."

Those words caught the attention of the very Democratic leaders who tried to keep Burris out of the Senate, suggested he resign and have shunned him in unprecedented fashion. Burris is not the only Democrat to insist on creation of a government-run health plan. But he is the one who has the least to lose by defying President Barack Obama and the Democrats who once turned him out in the cold rain.

It was early January and Blagojevich had appointed Burris, a former Illinois attorney general, to Obama's former Senate seat — defying Democrats in Washington who had wanted someone without a tainted patron and with a better chance of winning election in 2010.

What happened next was a procession of ugly images, from Burris' rain-swept news conference after Democrats turned him away from a swearing-in to Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush daring Democrats to block an accomplished lawyer who would be the chamber's only black.

Bitterly, the Democrats seated Burris. But when it came out that Burris had admitted what he had denied under oath — that he'd unsuccessfully tried to raise money for Blagojevich — Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., suggested that Burris resign. He refused.

A Senate ethics committee probe is pending into Burris' statements. Democratic leaders, meanwhile, refused to support any effort by Burris to seek a full term, and he will leave the Senate in 2011.

Meanwhile, his relationship with the rest of his caucus has settled into one of mutual, if chilly, benefit.

It works this way: Burris stays mum about any bitterness he may feel about his reception, and he gets Obama's Senate seat for two years. Democrats seat him, don't speak of him and can count on his loyal vote at a time when all 58 Democrats and two independents must vote together to prevent Republican filibusters.

They've never needed 60 votes like they do on the yet-to-be-finalized health care bill. A disciplined grin shows that Burris knows it.

No, he says, he will not vote for any version of a government-run plan circulating in the Senate, other than the full-blown one from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.. . . .
THERE IS MORE. . .

Guess he needsta FEEL THE LOVE!! :>) :>)

rikyrah: The WH will change plans on Tuesday.

+Changing plans
POTUS to Ft. Hood Tuesday

President Obama has cancelled his scheduled address to the Jewish Federations of North America on Tuesday because he will be attending a memorial service in Fort Hood for those who were killed in the shooting this week.

Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, will speak at the meeting instead, and the president will meet with a small group of leaders from The Jewish Federations at the While House, the organization said Saturday.

The White House announced Saturday that the president and first lady Michelle Obama will be attending Tuesday's memorial service.

The Jewish Federations' email notice said Obama sent his regrets, and added: "We offer our prayers and sympathies to the families of the victims of the attack in Texas, and stand with our brave service personnel at home and abroad." :>)

LEADERSHIP with EMPATHY!! :>)

+Sammy Sosa's Skin PHOTOS: Pictures Reveal Light Pigmentation

*** SCROLL DOWN FOR PHOTOS ***

Sammy Sosa's skin appears to have lightened considerably. Photographs taken at an event in Las Vegas reveal a surprisingly light pigmentation on the former slugger. While no cause has been established at this time, the web site Midwest Sports Fans speculates that steroid use could be responsible:

There appears to be at least some evidence suggesting that steroid use could be one of the lifestyle choices that increases a person's likelihood of becoming symptomatic with vitiligo.

It was reported in June that Sosa, who captured the nation's attention as a prolific home run hitter in the 1990s and earlier this decade, tested positive for steroids in 2003.

LOOK: SEVERAL PICS.

WHAT???? I ain't NEVA heard of a connection between STEROIDS & VITILIGO!
