In Chris Matthews' interview with Roland Burris, he conducted himself not as a fair-minded journalist but a prosecutor who believes it's okay to conceal exculpatory evidence to win a case.
Did Spencer liken himself to Heath Ledger? Wow. Whatever mind games he's playing, they're starting to work on me.
"Judicial activism" (or, alternatively, "legislating from the bench") is defined -- no matter what your political beliefs -- as "judges not ruling the...
Sen. Burris only had to tell the truth to the House Special Investigative Committee, of which I was a member, to be seated in the Senate. He did not fulfill that requirement.
The media continues to exaggerate evidence of malfeasance on the part of Roland Burris.
Standing in the governor's office, toe to toe with Blagojevich, Jesse White fumed, "Governor, for whatever you think of [former governor] George Ryan... I've known him for thirty years. He never lied to me once. You've lied to me 15 times in six months."
Does anyone believe that Burris, who was panting after the Senate appointment as the capstone to his headstone, would not have delivered the check had Blagojevich not been arrested?
Burris knows exactly what he is doing. All these years I thought he was decent but dim. Turns out it was an act that I, and many others in Illinois, bought.
Kwame Raoul introduced legislation for public financing two years ago. His predecessor, Barack Obama, sponsored the same legislation in 2005. What did Chicago newspapers editorialize at the time at the time on the Obama bill? Nothing.

Lindsay Hop - in which we follow La Lohan on her merry adventures tearing through Hollywood's party scene whilst destroying thousands of brain cells.
Governor Pat Quinn continues to outshine his predecessor Rod Blagojevich. Admittedly, that bar is pretty low. A 7 watt bulb could outshine Blagojevich.
I asked one of America's foremost horse racing handicappers to take time out from the grandstand and bet on political outcomes. What's his line on Geithner?
It's Sunday. You have questions about last night's Saturday Night Live. We have answers.
There was no mention of this lucky break for the former first family of Illinois in the rush of reporting about the Blagojevich indictment.
