Blago, Burris, 'bama

Reader Mark says this more eloquently than I can.

My spin on this is that this sort of thing happens all over the country with democrats, but it's almost never exposed. This whole sordid affair would all have been tamped down by the democratic party but for one fact: this is all centered around Obama's seat. Under any other circumstances reporting on these crimes would have been hushed and Blaggo would still be governor. But Obama is the crown jewel of the democratic party and Blaggo slipped up when Obama was still too close. The dems didn't want any Chicago political stink on their anointed one. So the party machine took him down with a strike of lightning; before he even had a chance to grab hold and drag Obama down. Seriously, could one even imagine a democratic state congress impeaching a democratic governor in 2 years much less 2 months?

Now there's more stink coming out about Burris. Did someone say perjury? I'd be worried if I were him. I think the party bosses are going to want him out for the very same reason. It's democrats taking down democrats. A very rare occurrence. Like a solar eclipse.
