Will Anybody Care If Burris Is Found Guilty Of Corruption?
It's easy to forget that the Senate Ethics Committee is still in the midst of investigating Crazy Old Man Sen. Burris's appointment by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich but it's true, it's still going on and Harry Reid and Sen. Durbin are cooperating with the investigators.
Something tells me though that the entire Burris-appointment story is over. Generally, Chicagolanders have given up hoping to have a normally corrupt political system. We're far more corrupt than your average state. I'll bet that even if Burris is found guilty (which I'm pretty sure he is) Illinoisians will shrug and say 'well, that's how the state is.'

Of course not, he's a democrat.
Liberals don't care if a democrat is corrupt. Hence the reliance on moral relativism and identity politics to excuse any democrat corruption.
I really hope that Blago sings like a canary, but it probably wouldn't do anything to open people's eyes.
