Well, it's a shame that I didn't blog about Roland Burris back in December and January. Because I knew that there would be something fishy about his appointment. No matter how squeaky clean the guy has been in his career, I was certain that he would do anything to gain that Senate seat. Why? Because the dude already has constructed a monument to himself detailing his triumphs to date. Seriously.
Now, I am all for pride in one's own accomplishments. But how many of us, including those of us who are admittedly a little egotistical, have already constructed a monument (and not a small one) to ourselves? That tells me that Mr. Burris has some pathology that makes him think that he is truly a gift to the people of this country. He is, indeed, a legend in his own mind.
What I really want to know now is whether or not his monument has changed since his seating in the Senate. If he is the kind of man I think he is (concerned far too much about his own greatness to be bothered by pesky things like ethics), I wouldn't be surprised if his monument already lists his Senate term.
What's next, Mr. Burris? God?
