Yes I know it is from Fox news but here. (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/26/burris-pleads-senate-appointment-taped/)
CHICAGO -- Sen. Roland Burris promised to "personally do something" for Rod Blagojevich's campaign fund while pressing for the then-Illinois governor to appoint him to President Obama's former Senate seat, according to a wiretap transcript released Tuesday.

This would only be news if a Chicago senator was not corrupt.

I'm sure I don't have to say that senators don't represent Chicago, rather they represent The Great State Of Illinois.
And I won't have you talking about the Other Paul Simon that way.

As if there was ever any doubt. Harris should have never gotten the job. Rod's last big F.U. on his way out.

It's almost not worth going after this douche and letting him play any sort of victim cards, because he's dead meat anyway. He's dong fundraising for a possible re-election bid next year. So how much has he raked in so far?
$845.00. (http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2009/04/us-senator-roland-burris-rod-blagojevich-raises-only-845.html)
By contrast, state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, considered the favorite to get the Democratic nomination, has already raised a little more than $1.1 million.
This makes me loff and loff.

That's just because his son Plaxico is an asshole.
