Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich announced his choice of a new U.S. Senator to replace Barack Obama - Roland Burris, a 71-year-old former state attorney general who, like Obama, is black. Blagojevich hopes his slime won't rub off on this esteemed politician.
Except that the Illinois secretary of state, Illinois Republicans, Democrats in the U.S. Senate, and incoming President Obama refuse to recognize the legitimacy of anyone Blagojevich chooses.
Note to the Rodster: Er, Governor, I'm not an Illinoisan, and I am not an expert on your state's political mores, but, umm, perhaps you were better off making this appointment to Obama's Senate seat before you were arrested.
