Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate may let Roland Burris take the seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama after a state court rules on the matter and Burris answers questions about the impeachment of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Democratic leaders said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, after a 45-minute meeting with Burris today at the Capitol, praised him as “candid and forthright.” Other Democrats predicted that Burris would be seated soon.

“We don’t have a problem with him as an individual,” Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told reporters. “There’s going to come a time when the entire Senate is going to have to act on this. And that day, I hope, would come sooner rather than later.”

Earlier today, Obama told a news conference that Burris “is a fine public servant,” though the appointment “is a Senate matter.”

It really doesn't get better than this. This is the most fun I have had since the Blue Dress.

I am expecting dead bodies soon.  That won't be fun, but it won't be unexpected.
