Blagojevich appointee Roland “Trailblazer” Burris has a granite mausoleum already in place that lists his many accomplishments, including the distinction of being the first black statewide office holder in Illinois. He is not a man lacking in self-confidence, as he showed in his (12-30-08) interview with NBC 5′s Alex Perez:
BURRIS: I have no problem with going to US Senate and doing a job for the people – not only of Illinois – right now the nation needs someone with Roland Burris’ talent and skills.
Talking in the third person says a great deal as does the naming of his children: daughter Rolanda, son Roland W Burris II and grandson, Roland T. Burris.
Call his mausoleum strange, narcissistic or whatever. But a walk through the Oak Woods cemetery provides more info about Burris than the proobamedia has provided The American People about barry.
As one of The People of Illinois, I would be pleased to see Burris take over barry’s seat. (It should be Tammy Duckworth.) Burris has a history of making independent decisions, standing by them and being accountable for the consequences.
Something barry will do for the first time on January 21st 00:01.
