Give This Man A Seat
I’ve always espoused the theory that Louisiana politcs always rank highest on the meter registering political shenanigans. Given what’s happening in Illinois, I’m ready to rethink my position. There is chicanery afoot of the highest order.
And I’m not talking about the state’s helmet-headed governor either.
What is happening to the apparently decent Roland Burris I wouldn’t wish on the most scurrilous of scalawags, say, Dick Cheney or some similar skank.
Rod Blagojevich, despite his possible criminal culpability, is still governor of Illinois. One of his constitutional duties, and rights, is to fill vacant seats in the U.S. Senate. Despite the allegations that the guv tried to sell the seat, there hasn’t been a bit of evidence, rumor or innuendo that one of the folks involved in such a scam was Roland Burris.
Therefore it is incumbent for the authorities responsible in Illinois to certify his selection. And it is incumbent that the U.S. Senate thereafter seat Mr. Burris. Common sense and decency require nothing less.
