Roland Burris changes his tune on Blago, pt. 2

Following up on my earlier post about Burris on Blago, here's a before and after video:

(h/t: Progress Illinois for finding the "before" video.)

What a difference two weeks and a senatorial appointment makes, eh?

Anyone appointed by Blago would be tainted, but the fact that Burris has reversed course on his condemnations of Blago only makes the appearance of taint all the more severe.

Roland Burris is never going to be a U.S. Senator. At this point, the right thing for him to do is step aside, unless he wants to be forever linked to to Rod Blagojevich.
