Harry Reid: Leave, legislator, you don't belong in this Chamber!
Roland Burris: It was not by MY ego that I was once again given government office! I was appointed here by ROD BLAGOJEVICH, who wished to pay ME tribute!
Reid: Tribute? He destroys politicians' careers, and makes them his pawns!
Burris: Perhaps the same could be said of all scandal-plagued politicians.
Reid: Your words are as empty as your ethics! The people of Illinois ill need a Senator such as you!
Burris: What is a Senate seat?! A miserable little pile of campaign efforts! But enough talk...have at you!
