It is unlikely that Senator Burris will do the decent thing and resign. While a little polite hypocracy is helpful for politics, the polite fiction that Burris is a 'good man and a fine public servant' (quote from President Elect Obama on December 30, 2008) is really debatable. The 'good man' engaged in efforts to railroad a man to the electric chair to help in his unsuccessful run for the Governor's mansion. The 'fine public servant' was apparently busy lining up a pay to play scenario to make himself U.S. Senator with the impeached and removed ex governor of his state. Somehow, 'good man' and 'fine public servant' are terms I am unlikely to apply to Rolland Burris any time in the future. A more correct term for Mr. Burris is 'morally under-developed.'
