#1 Yeah, c'mon, Dicky, give us the memo. Show me the money, Dicky!

#3 Anything I say to him would likely result in a visit from the Feds.

#4 Oh, and since this touches on a recurring subject:

Any bets on when he'll be removed from his post? Or when Democrats will criticize him AT ALL?

He's the "No. 2 Democrat in the Senate" -- hard to say he's just some fringer withot any following.

#5 Dicky Turban may just be the one to defecate on himself if this spins out of his control. He was just looking for a meme he could hang his political hat on with the Blue imbeciles in SecondCityLand, methinks. I hope he lives to regret it, since he's now a traitorous asshole, crossing the line giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

#6 McCarthy 0, Army 1.
Proof that the Democrats are no longer able to learn from history, maybe because they make it up and believe it themselves.

#7 The Chicago Tribune, which supported Durbin in his last election, dropped the hammer in an editorial this morning. Their conclusion?

We know what Durbin thinks about the treatment of Guantanamo prisoners. So what's the proper treatment of our coverage-hungry senior senator when he displaces the ever-present microphone long enough to insert his foot in his mouth? Ignore him. That would be torture.

#8 "Now, sadly, we have a situation here where some in the right-wing media have said that I have been insulting men and women in uniform. Nothing could be further from truth,"

Mmmm-hmmm. Funny how so many of them seem to be insulted by those remarks.

#9 good thing he goes by Dick. Must've softened the intended impact of some of the comments ....somewhat
