Say it ain’t so,another suntan with ethics problems.I thought the new skinkin color in dc was about honesty and change not more of the blood-crip bs.It’s hilarious to watch the dem party and the media try to defend all these ethically challenged lying crooks now,after they railed on Bush and Cheney for the last 8 years.Now lying,cheating ,stealing and hating are the new “in” thing.

Der Führer ist sicher, seine Probleme mit seinen Freunden habend. Ich schätze wenn Ihr ein Liberaler es doesn’ t-Angelegenheit, was Sie tun. Die Presse und die Leute auf Wohlfahrt denken, dass es ganz recht ist. Ich denke, dass der Führer alle seine Freunde kaufen sollte eine Kopie von Quicken und möglicherweise sie herausfinden können, wie man ihre Steuern tut. Diese Leute und der Führer sind ein schlechter Witz, der nach den amerikanischen Leuten gespielt worden ist. Es ist Zeit, die Taktabstandsgabeln und -fackeln nach Washington zu nehmen. Heil zum Führer.

Anyone can make a mistake. I say we give the guy a chance. I know people who have forgotten to file their taxes for twenty to thirty years. We can give up on the friends of B-HO yet. We have to give him and his friends a chance to get this country back on it’s feet.

You people of Chicago…..you sinned….your voting habits are a crying shame……you will live with this man as punishment…mend your ways…..I’ve got people interested in your property……you make me madder I’ll have to clear you out like I did before.

Did you have contact? Yes would have been an easy answer. I mean he’s a liberal democrat. He could shoot somebody and deny it and all would be well.
The fine thugs….I mean people in Chicago can be very proud of their elected and appointed representatives.

I cannot believe a liberal black democrat from Chicago might be lying .

[...] Friday, the Burris story changes again–big time. (To see the new affidavit, click here.) His new story, includes these salient details: As far back as June, at a fundraiser Burris attended …. (Burris claims he declined, saying it would look bad.) In October he called Blagojevich’s chief [...]

i love the giant lawyer behind him that tried to take over and lie for him….what a joke….he got caught on tape and he tried to cover hisself….of course this only came out after he was the 60th vote on the stimulus bill….hmmmm
as for anyone suggesting he’s a liar being partisan politics i guess hes right. only lying cheating repubs can be exposed in a non-partisan fashion.

This guy needs to resign and let the people of Illinois hold a special election to pick his successor.

He is just another in a long line of corrupt Chicago politicians in the image of the Daley’s, Nobama and Blago.

Nobama should ask him to resign, but I won’t be holding my breath on that one.
