Burris Wasn't Seated For A Reason
Someone actually thinks the Senate -- focus on Harry Reid as if he alone decided to do so (or changed his mind) aside -- should still not seat Burris. We also have people like Olbermann talking about how long -- two whole days! -- this has been dragging out in the new congressional term. Or, how so many forgot why the Senate Dems en banc didn't want anyone to be seated under these circumstances. Isn't the governor just "kind of a sleazebag?" No. Maybe, delaying things, the message sent the pick is not tainted in the process, was a good thing? Even if done badly? Oh, why isn't this more know?
