Hearing Voices
Sen. Roland Burris of Illinois--famed for his appointment by disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich--is hearing voices. Sen. Burris, who had announced he would not stand for election, says he might run after all. Reports ABC News:
Illinois Sen. Roland Burris announced last month that he would not run to retain his Senate seat next year, but in his first television interview since making that decision, Burris told ABC News he could change his mind.
"You never say never," Burris told ABC News in a "Subway Series" interview for the ABC News program "Top Line." The "Subway Series," which debuts on Monday, features interviews with senators and other political leaders on board the Capitol Hill subway.
"What I'm still hearing," Burris said, is "people from all over the country and they are saying, 'Don't give up that seat.'"
He thinks the voices come from real people. I suspect they are in his mind. Time for a visit to a mental health professional?

Speaking of people hearing voices, did anybody catch Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, statement on the health care protests over the weekend. The quote I found is “.....To demonize citizens who are energetic about this strikes me as demonstrating a kind of weakness in your (Democratic) position.”
I am still amazed at the brilliance of the leadership of the Republican Party. With such statements is it any surprise the Republican Leadership is watching the conservative base recede over the horizon. I doubt the Republican Leadership has the guts or ability to get in front of the troops in the health care debate. The really bad news is the Republican Party is the best hope of the conservatives in stopping Obama-care.
