WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record), whose re-election campaign is pressing for tighter immigration controls, referred to his house painter as "a nice little Guatemalan man" and suggested that worker as well as employees of a roofing company he hired might be in the country illegally.

"The other day, the little fella who does our maintenance work around the house, he's from Guatemala, and I said, 'Could I see your green card?'" Burns said at a June meeting recorded by Democrats. "And Hugo says, 'No.' I said, 'Oh gosh.'"

Burns spokesman Jason Klindt said the worker, Hugo Reyes, is legally in the United States, owns a painting company and the senator "never had any doubt" that Reyes is a legal resident.

"He was telling an anecdotal story about a time he took the extra step to make sure a worker was legal," Klindt said.

1. but what about Abramoff & Burns?

[stevedeshazer]

2. No argument, that's far more important

But, in a post Jon-Benet world....

[neoblues]

3. If I were to rely on appearances...

I'd say he's a crook by means of being a seedy, back-room deal-making politician. There's also a sense that he's damned proud of it?

Then again, no need to resort to judging by appearance... he has the word Republican by his name--that's proof enough (a kind of admission of guilt even).

14. Nice hat. Beevis.

[greendog]

4. The great thing about this guy...

...is that he's completely incapable of opening his mouth without sounding like a buffoon. I hope he enjoys his retirement.

6. Dammit.

This deserves more attention.

Defeating Burns in Montana is important.

[samsingh]

7. let's hope he keeps alienating more and more people

[stevedeshazer]

8. Burns is a reliable alienator

We can count on him saying something really stupid on a regular basis. All he has to do is talk.

[gratuitous]

9. Anybody asked Burns for proof of his citizenship?

Some people are saying that he wasn't born in this country, and that he has a forged birth certificate. Can Conrad Burns prove that he was born in the United States?

[semillama]

10. Hugo Reyes?

How'd he get off the island, and what happened to his millions?

11. Let me tell one of my old Connie Burns anecdotes again...

...which my father-in-law (who witnessed it) swears is true.

Back when Connie lived in N. Missouri, out hunting one day, he...

pissed on an electric fence!

My father-in-law is a charitable man. He always ends the anecdote by pointing out that Connie's not stupid: "he only did it once!"

[calimary]

12. "the LITTLE fella"??? My God, how DEMEANING!!!

He might as well have referred to the man as being part of the "Democrat Party."

It's just as demeaning, diminishing, and discounting.

I'm surprised he didn't call him a "macaca." :grr:

[geardaddy]

13. He doesn't have a mother who is French-Tunisian

That's why he didn't call him the "M" word. He probably just refers to him as a dirty s**c.

[Wetzelbill]

15. oh Conrad...

just oh no...

:rofl:

[chelsea0011]

16. Of course! You didn't really think any of these clowns wouldn't

hire illegals to save a buck. Did you? Talk is cheap and the repukes talk alot.

[marmar]

17. It's a Republican racist free-for-all these days...

It's like the Klan prison bus has crashed and the inmates have escaped, and now they're out running amok.

[SaveElmer]

18. Burns would win my vote as the worst Senator in the U.S...

The guy is a caricature of a human being!

[freefall]

19. Sorry, there's way too much competition for that award.

Burns will have to fight off challenges from Santorum, Stevens, Chambliss, Coleman, Frist, Allen, Bunning, Coburn, Sessions, Inhoff, . . . If you stop and think about it you can probably come up with several more. No, the fight for the bottom in the Senate has many contenders. And when you take a look at that list you understand why our democracy is in such deep trouble. Did I mention Roberts?

Peace and here's hoping we'll have a chance to rescue our democracy after November.

[SaveElmer]

20. I agree they are all bad...

But to me..Burns is "King of the Dipshits"

But after Novemeber there will be a new holder of that crown, with no shortage of candidates!

[Moochy]

23. Ahh you mean Lieberman?

:yoiks:

:D

[SaveElmer]

24. You think he's gonna win?

:wow:

[Moochy]

26. Not legitimately

But if Karl helps him out a bit... :tinfoilhat: :D

[SaveElmer]

27. Oops....

No diebold in CT...sorry...

Won't be able to use that one...

However, I am hopeful Lamont will bring in the big guns soon(Bill and Hillary etc), and moves ahead...

I'd hate to lose that seat!

[Moochy]

28. Excellent

Here's to an clean election in CT. :beer:

[vanboggie]

21. Horse killer Burns

Promoting the painful slaughter of America's horses. What a disgusting little "man".

[swag]

22. Good find, Steve.

What a corrupt and loathsome scumbag Republican Senator Conrad Burns is.

[stevedeshazer]

25. Thanks. I was just making a weird drive outta town and back,

and I stumbled upon the odious Lars Larson on his "national" show while trying to tune my car radio.

Lars was practically humping Burns' leg.

29. Stick a fork in this man

And along with Joe-no-mentum, can either retire, or have a new career at Faux News.
