Burris, the Best That We Could Get?

The rank absurdity of it,is enough to cause many of anyone's brain cells to double over in laughter or pain. Richard Burris, a person who is infected with an ego, which dwarfs his accomplishments is now the junior senator from Illinois. This has been accomplished through an exercise in rank political showmanship. Apparently the only quality that allowed him to be selected to replace a senator as illustrious as his predecessor, was the fact that he was devoid of any sense of opprobrium or at least enough ambition to transcend it. This man, had the audacity, to act as if the fact that Blagovich who has been charged in a criminal complaint for attempting to sell the very senate seat he has now bestowing on Burris, should have no reflection on Blagovich choosing him for the Senate? I mean, this man was not Blagovoich's first choice, presumably because he did not have the money and could not afford the access that Blagovich wanted in exchange for the seat. Moreover, its hard to wonder who is worse: Blagovich or Burris. Actually the are accomplices. Of course, Blogovich could not have selected someone more inured to the taint that obviously attached to him when he accepted Blagovich's offer.
