So much for change: another Illinois political retread, 71 years old, seemingly rewarded for his numerous runs for office.
@polomex
Burris 2day? Pure political slapstick. Neither 3 stooges nor SNL could’ve written better script. U never cease 2 amaze me IL.
@abbebuck
It is a comedy: enter — Bobby Rush, stage right!
@knitmeapony
Way to torpedo a man’s career, there.
@reneeborhood
Burris isn’t much of an opponent for the gov’s seat, so it seems like Blago isn’t going to run for reelection.
@RandomNickname
I hope they hold out and don’t seat the appointee, because Blago’s hubris needs to be slapped around. A lot.
@lifewritermaze
I think it’s fine time for Burris to go into the Senate. He’s black and he’s been waiting for his chance since ’84 — c’mon now.
@edorr
Bizarre. Illinois politics is, at the least, entertaining.
