A Burris Under The Saddle

What will it be today Harry?

First, he rejected Roland Burris. He simply couldn't have this Blagojevich-orphan coming to Washington as an embarrassment to the party in the very same week that the messiah was swearing in.

Then he received a directive from Obama to let it go. Too many racial undertones with these two old white guys, Reid and Durbin, locking the poor, rumpled Burris out of the Senate chambers. Quite a scene.

Then the real facts about Burris, which everyone (including Reid) suspected all along, start seeing some sunshine. So that brings us to today, and there's Roland Burris just back to Washington and again he's an untouchable. I guess Durbin at least invited the guy in for five minutes. Probably threatening, er....I mean urging, him to resign for the good of Obama.

And Harry? Well who knows. I guess he really can't do anything until he gets some directive from the White House or at least waits until public sentiment directs him one way or another. Certainly he wouldn't want to make his own mind up on something this important!

Classic. Just classic.
