Bank Run Burr

Secretary Marshall calls Senator Burr out for his chickenshit response to the financial meltdown he helped create, and all he can do is whine and lie? Sounds like business as usual for Richard Burr.

In our poll this week, Bank Run Burr was far and away the favorite descriptor of our senior Senator, with two other nicknames coming in close seconds. Dick and Do Nothing Burr. To keep things simple, I've combined the two runners-up:

Do Nothin' Dick

Got a nice ring, don't you think?

Richard Burr has made doing nothing a high art form, but last night took the cake.

RALEIGH, NC - Last night, Senator Richard Burr continued to put partisan politics ahead of the people of North Carolina, skipping a crucial vote on a commonsense job creation bill that would bring thousands of badly-needed jobs to his home state on the same day he asked North Carolinians to send him back to Washington for another six years.

Oh noes...Bank Run Burr done messed up now.
