Roland Burris Gets Fred Thompson's Old Senate Office

The Pantagraph:

Around noon Wednesday, Burris' sparsely furnished office was occupied by three staffers, at least two of whom were there on a temporary basis.

The blue-carpeted suite was formerly occupied for a time by Fred Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee, who made a short-lived bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2008.

Interviews for employees were underway and a receptionist was referring callers with problems to Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's office.
