Breaking: Media Reports Roland Burris Is Eating Lunch

As the cries grow louder for disgraced Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) to resign, the media is doing its part-- vowing to track Burris to the ends of the earth in the name of political justice... and getting as far as a chain Italian restaurant.

As embattled U.S. Sen. Roland Burris faced a media scrum outside a River North restaurant on his way inside for a much-anticipated speech, a couple more calls for his resignation came in today.

Burris, who faces a perjury probe in Illinois and an ethics investigation in Washington over the circumstances surrounding his appointment, did not answer questions that were yelled at him by reporters as he fought through more than a dozen TV camera people who surrounded him as he walked. The cast of characters inside Maggiano's includes former Illinois Treasurer Judy Topinka, former Illinois Comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch, broadcast personality Mancow and Fred Lebed, Burris' longtime friend and business partner.

Could a Maggiano's lunch special be the final meal Burris eats as Senator? Don't get us wrong; that place is decent enough. But if Burris is to play the part of a corrupt lawmaker, shouldn't he be eating at a restuarant owned by Jack Abramoff?

Still, he could have done worse. Reports indicate that Rod Blagojevich's last meal as governor was a handful of stale Chex Mix in green room of The View.
