Apparently Roland Burris, (the Illinois Senator appointed by now disgraced form Governor Blagojevich) is refusing to vote for any health care legislation that does not include a public option.
You know what's amazing about this? The most corruptly appointed Senator is the only one taking a stand against the giant insurance lobby. By all rights this man shouldn't even be in the Senate. Unfortunately, Blagojevich got caught selling Obama's Senate seat before the bidding on Ebay could end. And there's a clause against it in their Terms of Use Agreement. But now, this unelected Senator, appointed by a corrupt criminal, might wind up becoming the champion of the public option this country has sought after for so long.
Now, if he could also just demand that they completely reform malpractice law, and enact sweeping changes and controls on the pharmaceutical industry, he just might have something here . . .
