Breaking Yawn- Burris to be seated as Senator


Whatev. Really, this is the Illinois version of Chinese water torture. Drip, drip, drip. And if there ever was a better example of how truly awful a Majority Leader Reid is, I don't know of it.

WASHINGTON--Roland Burris won his battle to succeed Barack Obama as the junior senator from Illinois this afternoon as Senate lawyers agreed that he met the chambers rules and could be seated.

"Barring objections from Senate Republicans, we expect Senator-designee Burris to be sworn in and formally seated later this week," said a joint statement from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin.
