In a move that surprised absolutely no one, former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge pled not guilty this morning to charges of obstruction of justice and perjury in connection to alleged cases of police torture.

Mayor Daley has yet to issue any statement on this latest development, sassy or otherwise, but we can save you the time and boil it down to this ahead of time: "It wasn't my fault!"

Oooooo looky. I just remembered I had this:
