Really, I’m serious about this, because Roland Burris knows that he will not get another term, and he knows that his value as a Washington lobbyist is nil, he does not have to kowtow to the insurance lobby, so he has announced that he will not vote for a healthcare bill without a public option.

In creating the lamest of lame ducks, Burris won’t be able to work in DC at all once he is out of office, Blago has created a man who can do the right thing, because he has nothing to lose.
