   Look: I despise Blagojevich,and this appointment was wrong, but I will not be lectured to by journalists about the need to follow the law. After all these are the people who refuse to disclose confidential sources, even when those sources are liars and spreading lies for political gain.

   There was a problem here from the day Balgojevich was arrested and many saw what was happening. But the law did not leave us with any other option. Five minutes after the news came out that Burris would be picked many of us knew there was nothing to do to prevent it.

   Maybe if journalists had questioned those politicians who thumped their chest and said “he will not be seated” and asked what the legal basis for preventing that was people would not have been led to believe that the appointment could be prevented.

   “We have met the enemy and he is us.” This appointment is the child of many Illinois politicians and members of the media. To attempt to blame just a few is typical of the media, they do it that way because it is easy and they can get away with it.
