Was Burris being clever or just bad English????  |
| |
|  I noticed when Burris was explaining why he could not be involved in Blagojevich's sale of Obama's senate seat he gave the following response:
Responding to questions on whether supporters had actually made calls to Blagojevich on his behalf, Burris laughingly responded, "If they did, it was certainly no 'pay to play' involved, because I don't have no money."

This is a double negative which actually means he does have money!!! So is he being clever or just does not know correct English grammar? What do you think. IMO I do not trust any the politicians involved in this Blagojevich scandal. I hope they do impeach him tomorrow.

| |  IMO it's just bad English. Slang. I'm sure he knows correct English grammar but this kind of slang is probably typical for his voter base. He might be used to talking that way to get his message across.
But the other meaning applies, too, as in fact he does have money, lol. I just don't think he meant to say that;)

| |  Don't be so quick to judge Burris. He is one of very few politicians left in my state that actually has an almost clean record.

| |  I'd give him a break. I suspect he meant the common meaning of not having any money. Now, if this was Bill Clinton speaking, I'd not be so sure.

| |  I think it was just poor grammar. I'm sure he knows the proper way to speak but it's probably the way lots of people talk in his district or neighborhood or whatever and things like that can "rub off". I think they've gotten at least one step closer to impeaching Blagojevich. Hooray!
