Burris Battles Critics and Traffic Lights
No one can blame the most anticipated arrival to Capitol Hill to be a little distracted this morning, but Senate appointee Roland Burris almost walked into traffic walking to the Senate building this morning.
Holding a big black umbrella, Burris approached a Washington, D.C. intersection as people started yelling, "Its a red light, "then, "red light! red light!" Two large men put their hands on Burris' shoulders, who bent down and puffed up his cheeks in relief. No one seemed more comforted over his good fortune than Burris. "I am just playing," he said with a relieved smile before a car screeched by and honked its horn.
Burris was accompanied by about five handlers who found the wet, 71-year-old politician an umbrella, blocked questions from eager journalists and occasionally shouted, "curb, curb."
Watch It Happen:
In church on Sunday, Burris said he believes his appointment to the US Senate was “ordained by God.” A omniscient deity or some careful handlers, someone was looking out for him this morning.

Oh Lord. I kinda of like this guy until he said this. We had enough of Bush thinking that God put in office. We don''t need another nut that thinks God gives a hoot about who is in the senate.
US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has satisfied a Federal Judge with enough evidence to proceed with preparing an indictment against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and was granted an additional 90 days. Innocent until proven guilty should be honored but in the mean time the objects surrounding the pending indictment should be taken out of play and suspended until the cloud of guilt is removed, which in this case one of the objects is Pres.-elect Obama''s vacant Senate Seat. As examples of taking something or someone out of play until a matter is resolved, when there is a Police shooting the Officer is removed off the street until the matter is resolved, innocent or not, in the case a caretaker suspected of molesting a child in a Day Care the caretaker is removed until the matter is resolved, you would not leave a potential child molester around kids with the idea they are innocent until proven guilty just to make a point, you still take appropriate action until the issue is resolved. In this case the criminal cloud hanging over Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Pres.-elect Obama''s vacant Senate Seat should disqualify Gov. Blagojevich from making any decisions involving the vacant Senate Seat until the matter is resolved.
