As I see it, during his hearings, he failed to tell the truth, THE WHOLE TRUTH, and nothing but the truth. (Well maybe he didn't technically lie, but so what, he knew that that truth he was withholding was exactly the information the questioning was after.
So Blago hit him up for money, and he failed to mention it. He had contacts with Blago's people on 5 occasions, and only mentioned one.
This makes him a liar or an idiot or very possibly both, as this was bound to come out. I mean, what fool would think they stopped tapping the His Royal Hairness's phones.
Either way, Roland Burris is unfit for office and should resign or be removed, as he does not meet the honorable, competent or honest smell tests that should be required of our U.S. Senators.

Memo to Roland Burris
Remove yourself from consideration for the open Illinois US Senate seat.
I have 2 reasons for you to do so.
I) The next senator from Illinois must be squeaky clean. No corruption. No backroom deals, ever. I don't know if you are corrupt or not. Being an old school Chicago/Illinois pol I would suspect your cred's are less then sterling. In any event, just by accepting our disreputable Governor Blagomess's nomination, you are now tainted. It won't ever go away. And it reeks to high heaven. And then you, in humility of office, name your children after yourself: Roland & Rolanda, No ego's here.
II) From now on I demand only the brightest elected officials. I'm sick to death of those who can, doing, and those who can't, going into government. We have had demonstrably disastrous results from electing simpletons such as Preznit Bush and Gov. Blago. Also, from what I know and have seen of you over the years, I am simply underwhelmed. And now, MSNBC tells me Sen. Durbin is trying to get a hold of you but you are not responding because you do not know how to work the voice mail function on your cel phone.
I call that case closed. Let someone competent and completely beyond reproach fill the shoes of our Senator Obama. You owe us that!
