Blagojevich to name Burris to Senate

ADDITION: An AP story with regards to the press conference that announced Burris' appointment as Obama's US Senate replacement.

From the Tribune. At this point in time I'm not sure I want my name attached to a disgraced Governor, especially with the knowledge that the US Senate might not allow me to be admitted into the chamber. I suppose since the Governor is fighting the current charges against him, he might as well appoint a man to fill Obama's seat.

Apparently he's been making noises since Obama's ascension to the Presidency as well as not too long after the Governor's arrest for attempting to sell off the vacant US Senate seat to the highest bidder.

ADDENDUM: This is a particularly significant piece of news for this blog, as Roland Burris is currently a resident of the Sixth Ward.
