You're right, he is innocent until proven guilty, which is why he's not currently in jail. However, the fact that he's not yet been convicted of a crime doesn't mean that I or anyone else have to think that he's innocent or that he shouldn't resign.
What are you talking about? No one I've ever had a conversation with including myself has ever suggested a desire to force a woman to have sex with them against their will.

I really wish Blago didn't do this. Even if this guy is qualified and might be a good pick, he will never be looked that way because he was picked by Blago.
If the Illinois House is unable to write any articles of Impeachment, why should he resign?
There is a great set of Articles of Impeachment for Bush, all of them actually true. But why hasn't Bush resigned? Becuase Cheney is in charge anyway?
I still don't see anyone posting their most apparently incriminating snippetts of ranting phone conversations.

Ain't that the truth!One must realize how hopelessly wrong they are when you and I thank each other in agreement....
He's only fearless because he knows we aren't going to hang him.
Ain't that the truth!
An ironic comment when viewed as overshadowing your signature. Don't you think?
you can change "hoplessly wrong" to any of a number of common vernacular that would earn oneself points up here. :rofl
Yep, exactly right. I do hope though in all fairness to Mr. Burress that he will get some consideration based on merit after Blogo goes down, even though I don't think the congress has the stones to put thier name with a Blogo candidate.I really wish Blago didn't do this. Even if this guy is qualified and might be a good pick, he will never be looked that way because he was picked by Blago.
Oh yeah B.R. has some of the slickest politicians I have ever seen, they can take a leak on your head and convince you it's for your greatest benefit.Only in D.C., Chicago, and Baton Rouge.
I think Blago made the right move. (for him)
Carrying on his duties as Governor is the best way to deflect his critics.
I was thoroughly pissed after listening to the Lt. Gov's remarks. He has Blago convicted an sentenced before the impeachment. If IL didn't want Blago to appoint someone they should have acted quicker to impeach him and get him removed from office.
Currently, he is still Gov and it is still his job to appoint someone.
I have a question.
How can current Senators "refuse to seat" his appointment?
I didn't know they had a say in the matter.

Section 5. Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each House may provide.
Looks like a game of quienes mas macho is brewing in IL..... Blago is some kinda nut to appoint ANYONE.........
I would like to add, It would be to Obama's benefit to stay the hell away from these shenanigans.....
No offense taken, it's the truth. Jindal is doing some good things, he is going after budget problems, the new ethics laws are tougher than most if not all of the 50 states currently, but the problem is they don't have enough teeth in the enforcement category(yet). Our governer has his work cut out for him, but I think overall he is doing pretty well so far.No offense meant to you, but LA politics are pretty dodgy. Is Jindal helping to clean things up, is he part of the problem, or is the problem just too big for him to deal with?
I completely agree. I think a special election is the current best scenario and Buress should be given consideration in said election, but the situation as it stands is definitely suspect no matter what is done by the current Il governer.I am fully in support of the Senate refusing to seat any appointment. Burris seems like a good guy, but the situation is tainted.

Anything that is provably illicit, yep.Then everything the Governor has done since he's been in office is tainted.
Cancel and rescind everything.
