Well, he tried. It looks like the Democrats are playing a nasty game of "my courtyard, my rules, screw the law". Shame on them. This is one of your own. He's a Democrat. You don't throw the baby out with the toxic bathwater.
Mr. Roland Burris was turned away from the Senate today because of a signature on a piece of paper. All this uproar over the appointment of what seems to be a very nice, intelligent, scandal free, upstanding citizen of the State of Illinois. He looks like the sweet, old men you see at church.
Get real people. You think way too highly of yourselves. You are worried about the integrity of the Sentate. The people of Minnesota just elected Stuart Smalley for christ's sake. If you are not careful, the State of Alabama just might elect Charles Barkley.
This has gone on long enough. As much as you hate it, the Governor of Illinois has not been indicted, arrested or convicted of a crime. Slimey, yes. Guilty, probably.
The Secretary of State of Illinois should have signed the paper. If I read correctly the law stated that it was his job to certify the paper, not make a judgment and approve or disapprove by withholding his signature.
If you really want to know, I kind of like the chaos involved in this scandal. I love that the public gets to see just what kind of horse trading goes on behind closed doors, and apparently on bugged phone lines.
So, Illinois, you just keep on keeping on. You and the wingnuts in D.C. are making Louisiana Politicians and their shenanigans look like schoolyard pranks.
