“If O fires Fitz I’ll be surprised. It would look unseemly at best; and bring a bunch of unwanted attention.”
At this point, I agree. This is being played out according to Team 0’s plan.
It's this most recent move by Reid/Durbin that has me puzzled. We know Barry was against the Burris appointment at first. Then early this week he came down on Burris' side when Reid's plan began to fall apart. Now, after SCOI rules that Jessie White's signature isn't required, and nothing further needs to be done in support of Blago's appointment, Durbin comes out saying they won't seat Burris without White's signature. Obama has to be involved in this, but why bring this to a head again when it was almost rectified. It's just reopening a stupid decision for renewed criticism.
Huge typo, OOPS!
