In another weird Chicago coincidence, the man in charge of granting floor priviliges to the upper chamber is Terrance Gainer, former head of the Illinois State Police and a former Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago.
Yeah, Burris knows him. And Gainer says he doesn't expect trouble when Burris shows up on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
But isn't it a real shame that only Illinois can botch a Senate appointment?
We want a special election!

Any state is capable of botching a Senate appointment.
Only Illinois can make it look so easy.
Burris will sue if he doesn't get
to keep the senate seat appointed
to him by Slim Hairball Blago!
When can we get our special
election?
Roland down the street smokin ceegar, sippin on gin and juice.
Laid back with his mind on his
money, and his money on his mind.
"Senate Sergeant-at-arms not expected to give Burris trouble next week"
He'd better not, because we'll cry like babies and he'll be really, really embarrassed.
Burris will sue...
Damn right we will!
