Really, Senator Burris

Is that all there is?



That's you're just as lame a hack politician as the ones who almost preceded you in the United States Senate.



That you demagogued on race at a time that this country was beginning to accept the prospect of uniting on the issue. Someday.



That you may well have lied before the Illinois investigative body examining your pal (no denying that now, is there) Rod Blagojevich.



Here's what the AP says: 'Sen. Roland Burris says he didn't tell an Illinois House impeachment committee that he discussed fundraising for ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich because, like any good lawyer, he didn't want to volunteer information he wasn't asked about.
Burris told The Associated Press on Wednesday it never occurred to him he should've told lawmakers in January testimony at the state Capitol about his conversation with the former governor's brother."



And your response, you weren't asked specifically. Really.



And to know that it follows your previous response that this tape exonerates you. Really.



Senator, you have some 'splainin to do.



Thanks, Seth Myers, for letting me steal your trademark line. Really.
