Blago appoints Burris as barry replacement (text)
Blago appoints Burris as barry replacement (video)
Blagojevich and Burris connection?
Interview with new appointee Burris
barry speaks about blago’s appointment of Burris
barry couldn’t hide behind the only one president at a time excuse. He had to make a statement but it wasn’t what Illinois Democrats had in mind. Why do they think barry would change? Will change? He does nothing more than agree with the “Senate Democrats” and mention The People of Illinois. The same People who are waiting for him to step in and do something
BARRY statement:
Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago that they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat. I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it. I believe the best resolution would be for the Governor to resign his office and allow a lawful and appropriate process of succession to take place. While Governor Blagojevich is entitled to his day in court, the people of Illinois are entitled to a functioning government and major decisions free of taint and controversy.
Note the usual barry qualifier…this time “major”.
