Roland Burris in this video interview fighting for his political life. Burris is facing allegations that he lied committed perjury during committee hearings to determine whether he would be permitted to serve in Barack Obama's Senate seat.

According to the Believability Meter, Burris is sincere in this video interview. His insistence that the affidavit in question was not result of a request by federal investigators rings true. That of course does not meant Burris didn't engage in shady behavior to obtain the Senate appointment. Only that he volunteered the information in question without being subpoenaed. Do you think Rod Blagojevicvh and Roland Burris had a secret deal for the Senate appointment?
