Senator Roland Burris facing perjury probe

By GottaLaff

Burris is going to do a Q and A at 3:30 pm CST:

U.S. Senator Roland W. Burris will make a statement and answer questions today regarding his supplemental affidavit to the Illinois House Impeachment Committee.

Why? Because of this:

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother solicited Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) "for up to $10,000 in campaign cash before Blagojevich named Burris to the coveted post -- something Burris initially failed to disclose under oath before an Illinois House impeachment panel," the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Burris "acknowledges being hit up for the money in a new affidavit he has sent to the head of the House committee that recommended Blagojevich be removed from office."

However, in the affidavit, Burris said he refused to contribute to Blagojevich or to assist in fundraising for him.

What, this just came to him? This story will never go away, will it? We're all stuck in Blago-Burris Hell.
