Burris burrowing deeper

In case you've not checked lately, U.S. Sen. Roland W. Burris, who ascended to Barack Obama's Senate seat under a cloud of suspicion, is still holding down the seat.

Now, a tape of him offering a monetary bribe for the seat is headed to the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee.

We can hope he won't represent Illinois much longer, but it's already gone on way too long.
