The Rod Blagojevich train wreck continues - now Burris contradicts himself
Motivational speakers will tell you it's important not to limit yourself. Don't think that you've reached the apex. You can always do more.
And they're right.
Take the Rod Blagojevich disaster for example. Just when you might have thought there was no way this train wreck could get any worse, guess what?
BOOM.
Burris, not Blago
It's not so much Blago now. The one-man circus continues to appear on talk shows proclaiming his innocence.
Now it's the guy Blago appointed to the US Senate who's making news: Roland Burris.
Instant recall
He appears to be having a memory lapse.
In January, the Illinois House impeachment committee asked Senator Burris if he had spoken to Blago or any of his people about his desire for the Senate seat once held by President Obama.
Back then he said he had only spoken to Lon Monk, a former aide of Blago's. (Click here to read the testimony).
What I meant was...
Now he's updating his statement a bit. He has suddenly recalled speaking to three or maybe four more people. Including Blago's brother Rob three times about the Senate seat.
In an affidavit dated Feb. 4, 2009, and sent to the chairman of the Illinois House impeachment committee, Burris explains, "I mentioned a conversation with Lon Monk but was then asked another question and did not mention anyone else. I wish to supplement my answer with other events that I have been able to recall, to make certain the record is complete."
