"The evidence that's been presented is purely appalling," he said. "Should that come out to be the case of what our governor was attempting to do, I find it just reprehensible."

The former Illinois Attorney General also spoke about Lisa Madigan calling for the Illinois Supreme Court to remove Gov. Blagojevich from office.

"I certainly applaud her actions," Burris said. "Illinois is too important to have a chief executive that is incapacitated and the state will have problems functioning."

1. He was offered a Senate seat, that's what changed.

3. So his standards changed because he was offered something. OK. nt

2. He started saying "Senator Burris" and found he likes the sound of it? (n/t)

4. He wanted to add 'senator' to his crypt?

[question everything]

5. Emphasis on "should"

We don't know if there is a case. It has not been proven that he was attempting to sell the seat. We are going to find out, at some point, that the Feds don't have a case against him, at least, not about selling the seat.

6. The wheels of justice grind slowly. So Burris gives this case less

than 3 weeks before deciding there's nothing to it? I don't think so. There's something else going on here.
