Noting corrupt Illinois politicians who made it to DC

to screw us over, let's note one who's turned out to be just as big a dirtbag as the #1:
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother solicited U.S. Sen. Roland Burris for up to $10,000 in campaign cash before Blagojevich named Burris to the coveted post -- something Burris initially failed to disclose under oath before an Illinois House impeachment panel, records and interviews show.

Burris (D-Ill.) acknowledges being hit up for the money in a new affidavit he has sent to the head of the House committee that recommended Blagojevich be removed from office
.

'...failed to disclose under oath..." You know, if you or I admitted that, we'd be looking at a federal prosecutor filing charges. Hell, if you say something they decide wasn't said the same way you said it in a different interview, they can charge you with 'lying to a federal investigator' and put you in prison; does anybody think that'll happen to Burris?
