Progress Illinois has the funniest quote in a while:
From the department of dubious claims … On Ray Hanania’s WJJG radio show this morning, Delmarie Cobb, adviser to Sen. Roland Burris, said that she “jokes with Roland that he has made Dick Durbin a better senator than he ever was.” She also asserted that Durbin “is so busy trying to show Roland up that he is suddenly running all over town at ribbon-cuttings and groundbreakings.” Hanania asked in response, “Is it really him leveraging Roland’s problems to make himself look better?” “Oh, that’s exactly what it is,” Cobb responded. Listen (full audio here):
Roland Burris has never been known for a strong work ethic. He was ambitious and such, but his actual work at governance has been mediocre at best. If this is Roland’s primary advisor, he really will make a fool of himself and try to run for election.
