Hillbuzz: We don’t see how Harry Reid and Senate Democrats can prevent Roland Burris from becoming a Senator

Because of this scandal, most of you are hearing about Blagojevich for the very first time. Making millions off a book deal was never an option for him before, because no one knew who he was outside of Illinois. However, the notoriety he is gaining is making him an increasingly more interesting national figure.

From our perspective, doing as many bizarre and outrageous things as possible while exercising full authority as Governor is the best thing Blagojevich can do for his pocketbook. We think the Burris appointment is just the opening volley in what’s going to be an interesting few months from Blagojevich…it’s going to get positively Shakesperean from here on out.
