A transcript of a secretly recorded phone call between the brother of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and U.S. Sen. Roland Burris was released in federal court today, a call in which Burris, then seeking the Senate seat, was recorded offering the Blagojevich campaign a campaign check.

"I know I could give him a check," Burris said. "Myself."

    So we don't believe in innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? If thats what being a liberal has become, I am most definetly glad I am not one. BTW I listened to the tape on tv tonight and heard him saying something different. The feds release a tape saying something different to each media outlet?

    Small man with a very large problem..

    Burris is a liar.

    Any one who builds a shrine to themselves is one very sick person.!!!!Roland Burris has erected a grand mausoleum for himself, carved with the words "TRAIL BLAZER" and a long list of his accomplishments, with a space left for his more recent achievements. That gap could soon be filled in with "U.S. Senator."
    Burris and Monument/search......see for yourself.!

    Sad state of affairs...........indeed!!
