Humor / Politics - After slipping into the U.S. Senate when other ethically-challenged politicians wouldn’t have even tried, Senator Roland Burris is heading down the homestretch.

“I think I can stay in the Senate. I think I can stay in the Senate.”

Keep changing your story, Roland. The water is getting muddier.
“I think I can stay in the Senate. I think I can stay in the Senate.”

What’s that you say? You helped Rod Blagojevich smuggle guns into Serbia in 1992 or was it 1993? No problem. Just keep changing those names and dates. Sooner or later we’ll lose track and lose interest.
“I think I can stay in the Senate. I think I can stay in the Senate.”

And remember, it never hurts to refer to your second and third mausoleums, even if they don’t exist. Confusion and distraction are your best friends.
“I think I can stay in the Senate. I think I can stay in the Senate.”
