One on One with Roland Burris
Bean Soup: I am gonna show you this picture Senator Burris.
Roland Burris: Oh, that’s a bad shot.
BS: Yes, it may be a bad shot, but this Senator Burris. (I point to the umbrella). That’s real sir. See that umbrella? This looks bad.
RM: But do you know? Do you really know what’s happening there?
BS: No.
RM: Right, nobody really knows.
BS: That’s the problem sir. Nobody really knows. But you do sir, you know…don’t you?
RM: Huh? (He tilts his head to the side)
BS: Senator Burris did you or did you not agree to a pay-to-play scheme in your attempts to become the junior Senator from Illinois?
RM: This idea that I would agree to such a thing is crazy. Hell to the No! I can’t for the life of me imagine where the media is getting this idea from.
BS: Well, from you sir; from the recorded conversations between you and the former governor’s brother. Is that you on the tapes?
RM: Do you know?
BS: Do you?
RM: Yes, that’s me. (he laughs) But I didn’t give Rod anything for this seat! I did not donate one single dollar, nor did I raise any money or promise any favors of any kind for the governor.
