Illinois Dems National Embarrassment

Illinois GOP statement:

Statement from Illinois GOP Chairman Andy McKenna on Senator Roland Burris

The National Embarrassment Continues

“Today Roland Burris provided an object lesson in why Blagojevich Democrats should have stripped Rod Blagojevich of his appointment powers in December and kept their promise to people of Illinois to hold a special election. Senator Burris’ tainted appointment was an embarrassment to the people of Illinois when Rod Blagojevich made it, and Senator Burris continued the embarrassment today.

“This continuing national embarrassment could have been avoided if Blagojevich Democrats had simply kept their promise to the people of Illinois and allowed them, instead of Rod Blagojevich, to choose Illinois’ junior Senator.”
