No stopping Blago

The governor knows how to play his cards. I’d hate to play poker with the guy. Despite almost universal criticism from everyone without the surname Rush, Roland Burris looks like he’ll be Illinois next U.S. senator.

Senate Democrats may object, but legally it doesn’t look like they can stop Burris from joining their ranks. Burris is old enough, is a U.S. citizen and an Illinois resident. That’s all that’s required to be a senator.

Burris made the talk show round this morning and he says he has no intention of rejecting the appointment.  Danny Davis said no to the governor, but Burris jumped at the chance.

Back to Blago. By making it look like he’s hard at work for the hardworking people of Illinois, he’s creating evidence he can use in the impeachment proceedings. The guy knows how to play the system in oh so many ways.
