How surreal will this be?
In one of his last official acts as Vice-President of the United States, Dick Cheney will swear in Rolan Burris as the junior senator from Illinois. According to the Chicago Tribune, “Following the swearing in, Sen. Dick Durbin, the assistant majority leader who had initially blocked the Burris appointment, will host a reception in his honor.”
Yoi, and double yoi, as the late Myron Cope would have said.
I know that Roland Burris is the legal appointee for President-Elect Barack Obama’s senate seat. I get that. I understand that Gov. Blagojevich is defiant and crazy all rolled into one.
And Rolan Burris will be the junior senator from the Illinois.
I look forward to finally focusing on President Barack Obama. The world desperately needs a voice of reason and sanity right now.
Six days.
Senator Roland Burris.
Yoi. And double yoi.
