The Chicago Way?

Perhaps writing this blog has made me a bit jaded, but when it came to light over the weekend that Sen. Roland Burris may have perjured himself in congressional testimony over his role in Blagopolooza, I didn't give it much thought.

Now, word is that the Senator now acknowledges having attempted to raise money for the infamous Governor-in-exile Rod Blagojevich. Burris insists he never raised money for Blagojevich while the governor was considering whom to appoint to the seat President Barack Obama vacated. Attempted, yes; succeeded, no. Politics is a game of meaning, after all.

I guess the engravers will have to change up the inscription on his burial crypt a bit.
