Geez Roland Burris is Dumb as a Box of Rocks!

[Stephanie]

Are you listening to this?

*Edit* Chris Matthews is cross-examining him on Hardball and he is digging the hole deeper.

3. But Tweety is such an ass, one feels sympathy for Roland.

[dem629]

4. How is Matthews being an ass?

Because he's not being soft on Burris?

[TahitiNut]

8. He's using words Burris doesn't understand.

Or doesn't want to. :shrug:

[dem629]

9. That's not Matthews's fault.

[tridim]

5. It's just stunning to think that this idiot is currently Obama's replacement

:eyes:

Resign, you schmuck.

[dorkulon]

6. Never should have been seated.

Too bad the senate are such cowards that any spurious racism accusation can cause them all to capitulate to anything.

7. A tape of that exchange WILL be played in a court of law

Burris is going to prison.

[Stephanie]

10. How did his lawyer let him do that?

I'm amazed he went on-air and attempted to answer those questions.

[WeDidIt]

11. I'm betting his lawyer walks now.

I'm betting his lawyer told him, "just keep your mouth shut." and Burris ignored the advice.

[Stephanie]

12. I'm betting his lawyer just appeared on the Matthews show

I bet he believes he competent to represent himself. Clearly, he's not.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Why yes. Yes he is.

[SoFlaJet]

14. IDK but...

Burris' explanations sounded pretty reasonable to me and Tweety was starting to give me a headache with "his" interpretations of Burris' words. All I know is I hate everything to do with the Blago story...I did then, and I still do. I try to avoid it all.
