The faulty-memoried Blagojevich appointee is rapidly losing support from all quarters, and the rumor mill Democratic PR machine news media is starting to get cranking with reports of Sen. Roland Burris’s (D) imminent resignation.
Personally, my fake money’s on this afternoon. As living proof that there really is no such thing as a clean Chicago Democrat, Burris has become a liability to President Obama (D) — and, as he already cast one of sixty deciding votes for the unread $787,000,000,000.00 “stimulus” bill, he has already served his purpose to Obama’s (and Harry Reid’s) cause, and can now be jettisoned from the bus to his appropriate place beneath its tires.
Updates to come as the story develops.

He'll hang on like a tic.
NeoKong (Diary) Friday, February 20th at 8:23AM EST (link)I was just watching that very subject on Fox just now and Judge Napolitano made a very good point.
He said Burris met the eligibility requirements and that’s all that is needed.
He’s over 35 yo and a U.S. citizen.
There is no honesty or fund raising requirement.To dislodge him now with no criminal complaint would be an extraordinary circumstance.
I think he’ll ride it out.This little stink will dissipate.Becoming a U.S. Senator is like hitting the lottery and everyone of them want to keep that job forever.

I'm rooting for a concession speech...
rbdwiggins (Diary) Friday, February 20th at 8:27AM EST (link)Illinois truly deserves a special election…
If not, there is a primary and a mid-term in 2010.
Burris currently holds the seat, and in the long tradition of Chicago politics, he won’t give it up voluntarily.
Therefore, my fake-money is on the ultimate “over.”

He served his purpose
Leopard1996 (Diary) Friday, February 20th at 9:59AM EST (link)He voted for the screwulus bill to give the 60, so now he can go away. I love how the far left Kos kids, as well as now some black ministers are now calling for it. It is only for political expediency, of not giving ammo to a GOP in IL that even if giving the ammo that GOP wouldn’t now which end of the gun to put it in.

Does the 2nd Amendment actually mean what it says, or should we just scrap the whole document? (www.chl-tx.com)
When is the world
red4ever (Diary) Friday, February 20th at 11:54AM EST (link)going to notice that there is a Chicago Politician in the White House?
Everyone makes cracks about how corrupt Chicago Politicians are, but the MSM is quick to point out that somehow, Obama is the one honest one.
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
