More Lies Associated with the Chicago Democratic Machine

Burris Reveals Prior Contact With Blagojevich Associates - washingtonpost.com: "

CHICAGO -- Sen. Roland W. Burris (D-Ill.), appointed late last year to replace President Obama in the U.S. Senate, has informed Illinois lawmakers that he did not tell them the complete story about his contacts with close associates of Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) before he got the job.

The admission came in a sworn affidavit filed quietly by Burris last week with the Illinois House, and it raises questions about the new senator's credibility as he begins to finish the final two years of Obama's term. 'I'm disappointed and I do feel betrayed,' state Rep. Jack Franks (D-Ill.) said today as Illinois's political leadership began to assess the implications of Burris's admission. 'He was sworn to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and it's obvious that didn't occur.'"
