If blago gets impeached can't Quinn (Lt. Gov) appoint Burris?

[mucifer]

Wouldn't that work for everybody?

1. Yes it would, especially for Burris................I guess the question we all have

to ask ourselves is why is Burris so apt to take the appointment from Blago?

Who in their right mind would want such a taint going into the Senate....defies sound logic, frankly.

2. Why would he want him though?

The dude can't even remember how much he's donated to Blago..

3. Not now. That would have been a possibility if Burris had been intelligent enough to decline Blago's

appointment.

4. It would be Stupid

It would be stupid to even try another route. Burris is CLEARLY one of the better lawyers in the state. He's a good politician and he says he wouldn't run for re-election. Let sleeping dogs lay or put up a vocal fight and do nothing to block it.

5. Yes, which is why Burris should have publicly declined Blago

I don't understand why a so called good man would accept this "golden thing" from a tainted politician. Jesse Jnr had his reputation dragged thru the mud just for being mentioned by Blago, yet this Burris guy is up there grinning like a fool by his side.
