Irony, again? It is amazing that the Democrats don't want to hold hearings on Pelosi and her lies about the CIA, that the Democrats refuse to investigate a man appointed to the position by one of the most corrupt governors in American history to fill a position created by Obama's election in November ... the taint of this ... the stench .... yet Democrats do nothing, they pretend they cannot smell.
Burris pleads on taped call for Senate appointment
By MIKE ROBINSON, Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO – Sen. Roland Burris promised to "personally do something" for Rod Blagojevich's campaign fund while pressing for the then-Illinois governor to appoint him to President Barack Obama's former Senate seat, according to a wiretap transcript released Tuesday.
"Tell Rod to keep me in mind for that seat, would ya?" Burris tells Robert Blagojevich, who headed his brother's campaign fund, in a Nov. 13 phone conversation secretly taped by the FBI.
The remark came after Robert Blagojevich urged Burris to "keep me in mind and you know if you guys can just write checks that'd be fine, if we can't find a way for you to tie in."
"Okay, okay, well we, we, I, I will personally do something, okay," Burris says.

"I know I could give him a check," Burris said. "Myself."
