Finally, It's Over; Burris To Be Seated

Remember the "Top Photo" I had up this entire weekend?
Well, I think my wish (and many others wish) has been granted.

The saga finally ends. Roland Burris will not sound like a pompous ass anymore when he says "Senator Roland Burris" next time. Because he will actually be the Senator.
Senate Democratic leaders today cleared the way for Roland Burris to be seated as a senator from Illinois, after his appointment by the state’s now impeached governor had turned into a weeklong spectacle shifting between the nation’s capital and the corruption scandal back in Illinois.

Now, it’s likely that Mr. Burris, 71 and a former state attorney general, may be sworn in to the Senate as early as later this week in a ceremony presided over by Vice President Cheney. His seating will bring the Democratic Senate majority to 58, including two independents.
No more ridiculous walks in the rain after being turned away. No more new information regarding the situation of the seat. No more asking if Obama is tainted with this.

Hopefully I and the whole entire TRONN community, don't jink ourselves.
