I don't understand:
CHICAGO — Embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich is expected to name former Illinois attorney general Roland Burris to President-elect Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
State Senate President Emil Jones said Tuesday that Burris told him about the appointment. Burris did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Blagojevich was arrested earlier this month on federal charges that he tried to sell or trade the seat to the highest bidder. U.S. Senate leaders have said they won't seat anyone appointed by Blagojevich.
I have no idea who Roland Burris is. He may be the most qualified candidate in the history of the Senate. But I also know he has no chance of ever becoming a Senator. So I have to ask you governor, why are you throwing this dude under a bus?
