The Burris Side-eye
A couple of weeks ago, Roland “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing” Burris, hinted at not running to retain the senate seat Blagojevich tried to sell him gave him. We all breathed a collective sigh of relief. At least I thought we did. Burris now says he might still be in the running because he’s being urged by “people all over the country” to run. What country? Which people? And by all over does he mean all over his house? Caus’ we’re not buying it.
That said, Marion Barry proved that some people could do anything and get reelected. And I guess being caught on tape negotiating the purchase of your senate seat, when compared to being caught on video smoking crack, is no big deal. Nevertheless, right now most people, besides the ones in his basement encouraging him to run, just think he’s an idiot. If by some miracle he’s actually elected to the position, we fear he’ll open his mouth one time too many and prove once and for all that he is.
