My 2 cents....el Blago is flaunting he will do as he well pleases (as he has been doing) regardless the will of the people of Illinois, or the Democratic party or the leaders in Washington. Now lets see if those who stated unequivically they would not support his appointee....no matter what....turns out.

In my opinion, Burris erred in accepting the controversial appointment.

Anybody want to make a bet on the outcome, now that they have spit in the face of the public as well as the nation's lawmakers AND reinforced it with the race card....absolutely the epitome of screw we the people and do what ever.....criminal or not. Who would accept such an appointment from such a low life criminal?

Only in America as the saying goes.
