UH OH: Federal authorities question Burris about appointment.

UPDATE: Democrats in a hurry to get Burris out of the Senate:

How convenient that the ethics panel would seek rapid movement on a high-profile case that is so inconvenient for them and Obama, yet other ethics investigations languish on the back burner for months and months.

For instance, what of the ethical investigations into Senators Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd over their shady dealings with Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo? Progress on that issue has slowed to a near crawl, but Burris?

Yeah, it makes you wonder if they’re serious about ethics . . . .
