Let me preface my comments with this: I love my GEBB lawyer friends like brothers. However, when lawyers give statements that fail my common sense test, they do not aid their public perception.

Lobbying list

But Burris' attorney, Timothy Wright III, told The Associated Press Thursday that he never promised a complete list.

On Feb. 5, Wright gave state Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie a list of 26 clients and the years they retained Burris for lobbying purposes. A review by The (Springfield) State Journal-Register found that Burris' list does not match records kept by the Illinois secretary of state, the Cook County clerk or the Chicago Board of Ethics.

Wright said Thursday that he told lawmakers he would give them what Burris had.

"I never said it was a complete list of anything," Wright said.

This is similar to if my son asks to watch tv and I ask him, "Did you do your homework?" and he replies, "Yes."

Later I see him working on his homework and ask, "I thought you did your homework?" he then replies, "I did do some of it, but I'm not finished."

Now, he's only 6 so he isn't that conniving yet, buy I remember my sister having conversations like this with my Mom.

Really surprised that no one has brought up his latest predicament before this.

It's Illinois. Give the guy some slack. History tells us this should be a very very small issue.
