Speaking of the Democrat culture of corruption, Kenneth... Burris on tape offering a check for Blagojevich May 26, 2009 9:43 PM A transcript of a secretly recorded phone call between the brother of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and U.S. Sen. Roland Burris was released in federal court today, a call in which Burris, then seeking the Senate seat, was recorded offering the Blagojevich campaign a campaign check. "I know I could give him a check," Burris said. "Myself." But in the same call, Burris tells Robert Blagojevich he is concerned he and Rod Blagojevich will "catch hell." "And if I do get appointed that means I bought it," Burris said. "And, and God knows number one, I, I wanna help Rod," Burris says later in the call. "Number two, I also wanna, you know, hope I get a consideration to get that appointment." Burris was recorded saying the timing would be crucial to how the fundraising would be perceived. "And however that goes, ah, it would dictate, ah, you know how the press treats it," he said. "Understand," Rob Blagojevich answered. "'Cause man, I, I will be, you know we both would be profiled," Burris continued. "And we don't need that." A federal judge on Tuesday gave prosecutors permission to turn over the recorded conversation to the Senate Ethics Committee, which has launched a review of Burris's conduct prior to his appointment by Blagojevich. Burris did not specifically mention offering Blagojevich a check in affidavits he filed in Springfield in connection with hearings on Blagojevich's impeachment. On a "good will" tour around the state in February, Burris addressed a conversation he had with Blagojevich's brother, Robert, during the fall timeframe. "So some time shortly after Obama was elected, the brother called," Burris said then. "And now in the meantime, I'd talked to some people about trying to see if we could put a fundraiser on. Nobody was -- they said we aren't giving money to the governor. And I said, 'OK, you know, I can't tell them what to do with their money.' "So when the [governor's] brother called me back, I said, 'Well, look Rob ... I can't raise any money from my friends. I said, maybe my partner and I, you can talk this over and see, could we go to some other people that we might be able to talk to that would help us out if we give -- because we give a fundraiser in the law office, nobody going to show up. We'll probably have a thousand dollars for you or something to that effect.'" chicagobreakingnews.com Wow, that is change I can believe in...LOL! Diz-
