And the hits just keep on coming:
Acting Chief of Staff to Senator Roland Burris, Darrel Thompson, has resigned his position, according to senior staffers in the US Senate.
Darrel Thompson, a former Senior Adviser to Senator Harry Reid, had been dispatched by Senator Reid to assist incoming Senator Burris in helping to fill senior staff positions in the office, develop a legislative strategy for the Senator's policy priorities, and build out constituent services.
Add this to the earlier report of potential problems with the Illinois Supreme Court, Governor Quinn's call for Burris' resignation, along with the White House suggestion that he use this weekend to think about his future, and for Roland Burris, "Friday news dump" takes on a whole new meaning.
