Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is refusing to seat Roland Burris, appointed by disgraced Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich, for lack of state certification. That's a problem for Al Franken, who also lacks final state certification despite the fact that the state canvassing board declared him the winner Monday.
Will Senate Democrats seat Franken without official certification? "I don't think so," said Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois.

The reason for not seating Franken, according to a spokesbimbo for Weird Harry Reid named Jim Manley, is "the Republicans will object."
So, to recap the action so far, the dopey Dems won't seat Burris because they don't like the guy who appointed him and they won't seat Franken because the Republican will freakin' object.
What a bunch of mopes.
