The nut doesn't fall far from the tree - smn1256 - 05-23-2009 03:07 PM
Quote:WASHINGTON — Questions about whether Roland Burris is feeling at home in Washington may have been answered Friday when Illinois' appointed — and perhaps short-term — senator submitted earmark requests totaling more than $8 billion.
Burris responded bluntly when a reform-minded colleague approached him on the Senate floor recently to join the drive to prohibit earmarks, or pet projects, in legislation.
"Senator, 'I'm from Chicago. I'm from the state of Illinois. I support earmarks,'" Burris recalled saying.
