Brushing aside charges that he tried to sell Illinois' vacant U.S. Senate seat, Gov. Rod Blagojevich appointed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to the post today in defiance of Senate leaders who said they would not admit anyone he selected.
It was an abrupt about-face for Blagojevich, who had said after his Dec. 9 corruption arrest that he favored a special election to find a successor to President-elect Barack Obama. But Blagojevich said he acted after the Democratic-controlled General Assembly declined to approve legislation for a special election.
"Please don't allow the allegations against me to taint this good and honest man," Blagojevich said while introducing Burris at a downtown news conference.
This Blago character needs to go away.....he is flagrantly disrespectful of the position of governor and unconcerned for the respect of the people's wishes. He is an idiot that needs to step down on his own.
But obviously we all know by now that he won't, which is just ONE MORE reason of proof of his corrupted nature!
