U.S.: The Senate decides to get on Roland Burris for his lameness
- Blame it on his ever-shifting explanations of what happened with Blago. Roland Burris, who we consider to be perhaps the most honest member of the Senate, was trashed on by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics yesterday. The panel’s stinging “public letter of qualified admonition” was harsh but not the the point of censure or expulsion. The Illinois senator focused on the positive – that he was keeping his seat – not the heavy criticism. source
