More: Sun Times. "Catch hell".
And John Ruberry wants a resignation and a special election. He won't resign. The Dems will drag it out because they don't want a special election, and discredit Burris for the primary, then back a Dem hack for the seat in 2010.
For example, Dems House Ethics Committee "at work":
The company, Mountaintop Technologies, was selected by the lawmaker in a series of earmarks to hand out and monitor the grants. As it distributed the money to the departments, the firm would explain each time that it was arriving through the largess of Murtha — often just before fall elections.Before you shake your head and say, "that devil Murtha," note that 227 out of 256 House Democrats have voted repeatedly to block an investigation of Murtha by the House Ethics Committee. So he's bad, but remember he's got about 226 friends willing to help him avoid scrutiny.
