That’s what she said. And by “she” I mean Michelle Malkin. Apparently Illinois’ newest Senator is in some hot water for perjury and Illinois Republicans are calling for his resignation. Delicious.
Burris says he has made “no inconsistent statements.”
He says he had contact with 6 individuals about the seat, including Robert Blagojevich (Rod’s bro). Says he made clear he was not interested in donating money or doing favors for governor.
“Anyone who would suggest others…is simply playing at partisan politics.”
“Rob called me in October and as we said in the affidavit, that we advised him we would could not raise any money for him because we were raising money for other candidates…I couldn’t raise any money.”
Reporter asks why Rob Blago was not mentioned in first affidavit, but Lon Monk was. Lawyer says supplemental affidavit followed up and mentions that “he talked to friends” and that it was his intention to mention Rob Blago later.
Uh-huh.
Burris blames questioner for not asking specifically whether he spoke to Rob Blago.
Go to Michelle Malkin’s blog for the whole story plus updates.
“Burris blames questioner for not asking specifically whether he spoke to Rob Blago.”
Yeah, he was only asked if he had conversations with any members of Blago’s staff. Probably depends on the meaning of “is” too.
What a state…
Somebody adopt me. Please!!!!
Sure — I can always use a 4th child tax credit.
The more I learn about Chicago politics, the more I’m reminded of a line from The Blues Brothers: “Illinois Nazis…I hate Illinois Nazis.”
