Who’s missing from the caricature above?  It appears the right answer might be Roland Burris, the former Illinois attorney general picked yesterday by Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) to replace Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate.

I base this assessment upon the content of a National Legal and Policy Center report published over 5 years ago in a post at Sweetness and Light is accurate.  The headline of that post — Mob-Infested Chicago Local Suggests Ex-AG as Temporary Supervisor — hints at its flavor.

Check it out!

    Yeah, maybe I should have drawn a bus instead. Need more room for Rahm, Michelle, and a whole lot more…

    ConsiderThis — A bus under which Obama could throw these folks?

    HA! Except I would imagine soon that bus would be high centered from everyone thrown under it.
