He appears to be quite delusional and quite likely as corrupt as the man that appointed him. The mere fact that he accepted the seat from Blago shows he was far more interested in being Senator than being "honorable". I predict that he will become a huge distraction for Democrats and I can guarantee that he will become fodder for 24/7 news coverage by the mainstream media and right wing hate radio for the next few weeks.
The Limbaugh wing of the GOP will pound on this scandal as part of their "death by a thousand cuts" strategy to diminish and neuter President Obama and Democrats.
One thing is certain, Burris isn't gonna go quitely. He is exactly the type of guy that will have no qualms about dragging this out regardless of the damage it will do Illinois, the nation and Democrats.
