“If I had done the things I’ve been accused of, I’d be too embarrassed to stand up here,” Burris said.
"Stop the rush to judgment. You know the real Roland. I have done nothing wrong and I have absolutely nothing to hide," he told the City Club of Chicago, a gathering of civic leaders, politicians and businesspeople.
Burris said he would cooperate "in any way I can" with a perjury review by the Sangamon County state's attorney into his sworn testimony as well as the preliminary investigation opened by the Senate Ethics Committee.
"I welcome the scrutiny," Burris said.
But he also made a point of saying he won't cooperate with the media, saying their scrutiny has not been fair. And then he invoked the classic political response in announcing he would no longer take reporters' questions.
Yeah. There's a good strategy. Screw the media.
Bye, Roland.
