    This is hilarious. My guess is that Burris was the lowest bidder, so he screwed him with the actual appointment.

    This is purest CYA by Blago for his legal defense.

    Chicago "democracy" should be called "gangland style democracy."

    It is hilarious though, the way this stink is sticking to Obama and the rest of his Chicago cronies.
