Obama's Senate Replacement

What is it about Democrat politicians from Chicago?  What is it, one has to ask, about the people of Illinois who continue to elect Chicago politicians?  Whatever it is, apparently it's a viral infection because we now have one of those in the highest elective office in the country.

And now Roland Burris, the man chosen by impeached-and-convicted governot Rod Blagojevich to replace Barack H. Obama in the U.S. Senate, has had to admit that he had not disclosed the full story under questioning by the Illinois Senate panel assigned to investigate the appointment.

If you're from Chicago, or even from the state of Illinois, please edify me as to the great attraction Chicago politicians hold for the voting public.  I have a book on  the shelf, by Larry L. King, titled Of Outlaws, Con Men, Whores, Politicians & Other Artists.  I told Larry that most of the categories in his title are redundant.
