…don’t take it. Ronald Burris was denied today. And looked absolutely pitiful as he fought through a swarm of photographers just before being rejected by his own party. The fact is, when Illinois Governor Blablahgojevich made what seemed to the rest of the country as a hasty, and suspiciously politically correct appointment, everyone realized that Burris would be denied today, and probably for good. Everyone it seems, but Burris. Regardless of his record, or his desire to be Illinois’ next senator, appointment by a governor under these circumstances casts a long shadow on everything he does moving forward. Really bad boss lesson#1 – if everyone thinks your boss is shady, right or wrong, his shadow casts a pall on you too.
