Heat Rises on Burris

from Political Wire

 

A Chicago Tribune editorial calls on Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) to resign:

"The benefit of the doubt had already been stretched thin and taut by the time Roland Burris offered his third version of the events leading to his appointment to the U.S. Senate. It finally snapped like a rubber band, popping him on that long Pinocchio nose of his, when he came out with version four."

Meanwhile, Roll Call reports Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) supports an ethics committee investigation into Burris's actions.
