Latest Burris press conference answers nothing

For the second day in a row, Sen. Roland Burris called a press conference, this time he spoke outdoors, in front of Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church on Chicago's South Side.

The church is the first stop on listening tour that will take Burris to central Illinois, then back to the Chicago area.

Burris quickly told reporters, not much, other than he told the Illinois House impeachment committee last month that he would file a supplementary affidavit if any new information came along.

So I guess that means Burris, who has given several explanations on his under-the-radar campaign to be appointed to Barack Obama's Senate seat, didn't withhold information from the panel, because that affidavit that said he would, if needed, provide information later.

Got that?

Burris' listening tour should be interesting. As for today's press conference, Burris did not take any questions.

The Chicago Democrat has given three versions of his contacts with the Rod Blagojevich administration regarding how he ended up becoming Illinois' junior senator.
