Who would have thought that a guy who built himself a mausoleum that doubles as a resume would be an egomaniacal liar of a politician? Oh wait, everyone.

This guy embodies one of the main things wrong with politics: politicians.

Burris isn't as bad as Palin.

Burris isn't as bad as Palin. They both have inflated opinions of themselves and very little awareness of how they might appear to others. But after that, at least as far as I know, Burris never used his children as props. He also never charged the state for overnight stays at his own house. His voice is way less annoying. And he votes the right way on the things I care about. So he's better than just about any Republican, in my book. My biggest problem with him is that he puts the seat in jeopardy in 2010 because of his own selfish ambition. The other stuff is just irritating and comically sad.

Well, at first I was going say no way, Burris can't match Palin. Then I thought about 3 seconds and was like - Burris beats Palin.

Now I want a face off!

On the Diane Rehm show moments ago, Andrew Sullivan compare Roland Burris to Sarah Palin in terms of his ability to create his own reality.

Spot on.

People who give their own names to more than one child should not be allowed to hold public office. People who give their own names to more than one child of different genders should be sterilized.

I am having an exceptionally crappy day at work. But "You had me at Rolanda" just made me laugh until I was gasping for air and now I feel better. Thanks.

Don't crow to me. I hopped on the Stop Roland Burris bandwagon after your first post. You had me at "Rolanda."

But now I'm starting to like the guy a little bit. Too bad he's a Democrat.
