Here's to hoping the store bought senator is toast soon -- Burris Offered to Write Check To Governor Before Appointment

A 2-22-09 post entitled "The once cocky liar is not so cocky now. He is toast in a week. Illinois governor calls for Burris to resign & White House suggests as much" called it wrong. He survives. But here's to hoping the winning-bid senator does not last too long.

From The Washington Post:

Sen. Roland W. Burris (D-Ill.) can be heard on an FBI audio recording promising to make a campaign contribution to then-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) at the same time he was pressing the governor for a Senate appointment.

The recording, secretly made by the FBI and released Tuesday by a Chicago federal judge as part of a Senate ethics investigation, contradicts a Jan. 5 Burris affidavit in which he said under oath that he had not discussed the Senate seat with Blagojevich or any of his representatives.

During the Nov. 13 conversation, Burris told the governor's brother, Rob Blagojevich, that he was willing to join a fundraising event and would send a personal check.
