“I don’t have no money.”

“’No money’? Numbers say differently
But Burris assured us “there was certainly no pay to play involved because I don’t have no money.”
Poor Roland Burris. Turned away (so far) by the Senate, picked on by the press and no money to boot. It’s good that being a U.S. senator pays a salary of $169,300.
Of course, when he becomes a senator, Burris will have to give up the $70,000 in compensation he’s been taking home every year just for serving on the board of directors of Inland Real Estate Corp.
Then again, he will continue to collect his $118,000 annual pension from the State of Illinois. That’s right, 118,000 smackers, more than he made as attorney general, thanks to the state’s taxpayer-supported pension plan.
I’m afraid he’ll have to give up whatever six-figure retainer he’s been collecting as a lawyer with the Milwaukee law firm of Gonzalez Saggio & Harlan, which has enjoyed a big bump in its Illinois bond counsel work since Burris came aboard in 2007 as a rainmaker for government business. But surely this will create more opportunities than ever for his son, Roland II, as is traditional for U.S. senators.
At least Burris won’t have to hustle any more business for his lobbying firm, Burris & Lebed Consulting, which a few years back was even trying to help the Ho-Chunk Nation slip a casino into Hoffman Estates. “
