...Illinois A New Burris-Blago Brouhaha The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee and a local Illinois prosecutor have launched investigations into Senator Roland Burris' inconsistent descriptions of his contact with Rod Blagojevich before being tapped by the then governor to fill Barack Obama's Senate seat. Burris recently admitted attempting to raise money for Blagojevich months earlier--a fact he neglected to mention while testifying in Blago's January impeachment hearing. Though Burris has denied any wrongdoing, lawmakers of both parties have called for his resignation...
...January after sinking for the six months previous. But I wonder what it will take for us to see those $545 Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable? Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the Dow, and haggling is a low-risk, high-value contact sport.

And so now, after a whirlwind six weeks that saw the governor defiantly resist calls to resign before finally being ousted, resignation calls are echoing again...
...that impeached Blagojevich. His appearance came after Blagojevich surprised all observers by making the appointment but before the Illinois Secretary of State had agreed to certify the nomination and the U.S. Senate had accepted Burris into its exclusive club. At the time, Burris testified that he had not had contact with Blagojevich's brother, who was the Governor's chief fundraiser and is also reportedly under federal scrutiny for allegedly putting the squeeze on Senate hopefuls (a charge he, too, has denied). After his testimony, Burris said: "I feel I passed the test with flying colors. I have nothing...
