Blagojevich Names Roland Burris to Obama’s Former Senate Seat

The Sun Times is reporting.

Gov. Blagojevich today is expected to name former state Comptroller and Attorney General Roland Burris to Illinois’ vacant U.S. Senate seat, a knowledgeable source said this morning.

A news conference is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Wow.  No shame whatsoever.  If I were Burris, I’d decline the appointment.  He’d be tainted forever if he took it.
