Read the transcript of the FBI’s phone tapping that, according to a ruling Tuesday, may be handed over to the Senate Ethics Committee. Some highlights:
Burris: I’m trying to figure out how to deal with this and still be in the consideration for the appointment.
Rob Blagojevich: I hear ya. No, I hear ya.
Burris: And, and if I do that I guarantee you that, that will get out and people said, oh, Burris is doing a fundraiser and then Rod and I both gonna catch hell.
Blagojevich: Mm hm.
Burris: And if I do get appointed that means I bought it.
Blagojevich: Mmmm.
And then there’s the part that ironically shows how swearing runs among the Blagos:
Blagojevich:… Now, I may be a little different than other family members, but I’m not a bullsh***er.
