This is a dream come true for someone hoping to run for higher office in Illinois…if that person isn’t Roland Burris.  From the Chicago Tribune:

Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan led a growing chorus of Democratic officials Monday calling for a deeper investigation of U.S. Sen. Roland Burris’ explanation about how he was appointed by now-ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Burris has maintained there was nothing inconsistent between his testimony before state lawmakers and a recently filed affidavit outlining more extensive contact with Blagojevich insiders than he had previously disclosed. But Illinois Republicans pressed their call for a perjury investigation by the county prosecutor in Springfield and on Monday, Democrats expressed increasing discomfort over Burris’ evolving explanation of efforts to get the seat.

The Illinois Review has some home state flavor on all of this, going with a variation of “what did they know and when did they know it?”
