#1 Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed about some of this - not that they didn't deserve it, but we are supposed to be better than they are.

However, can't somebody find some reports of Pol Pot's, Himmler's, and Stalin's detention camps to forward to the Senator from the grate state(©) of Illinois? Maybe he needs a bit of perspective.

#2 Sending him to a Gulag for a week of forced labor would do wonders for his perspective.

#3 Hey, Dick. What do you think Danny Pearl was thinking about before he got beheaded?
Take it somewhere else, I ain't buying it anymore...

#5 ..but we are supposed to be better than they are.

We are better than those barbarians by a long shot, even after all that has transpired. The margin isn't even close.

#6 Attica, Pelican Bay...many gulags operated by Dem's as governors and legislators. Oh, what, you say they house dangerous men?

#7 Bobby: Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed about some of this - not that they didn't deserve it, but we are supposed to be better than they are.

We are? Dunno about you, but if I had to decide (1) between being better than they are and (2) additional live GI's or American civilians, I would go for option 2 every single time, even if we had to feed every single terrorist into wood chippers feet first. I don't have to justify putting American lives ahead of our enemies' lives. If they mistreated people for pleasure, then they should be punished. But if it was done for operational reasons, to make the terrorists more talkative, I have no problem dousing them with gasoline.

#8 Its BS politics. Have to have something to bitch about on the other party, don't we? We got no control on this war - its Bushhitlerrummyrover's war and all we get to do is watch, find a little hiccup like gitmo and abu grhab and bitch, bitch, bitch. And these guys wonder why no one loves them anymore? If I was Karl Rove I would play the lottery everytime a Durbin, Kerry, Reid or Leahy opens his mouth. I mean this guy has the easiest job in the world - sort of like Tom Sawyer's. He gets everyone else to do it for him.

#9 On behalf of the citizens of the State of Illinois, I humbly apologize.

My only regret is that I'll be living in Maryland by the time this asshat comes up for re-election. These remarks look like a nice campaign ad.

#10 No worries, eLarson! You can help us send Lt. Gov. Michael Steele into Paul Sarbanes' Senate seat...

#11 Senator Steele. Yeah, I like the sound of that.

#12 Pol Pot had no GITMO. Prisoners taken by the Khmer Rouge were interrogated briefly and then were shot.

#13 I would also like to apologize. This cretin represents my state, temporarily, until the next election. Hopefully, we'll be able to send Dildo Durbin back to whichever crack he climbed out of.

His utter and complete inability to comprehend the evil of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot...

Sorry...I've been seething at the monumental imbecility of this two-legged turd since I first heard about this.

#14 "the monumental imbecility of this two-legged turd"

DV - I'd say you've clarified your thoughts and position, lol!

BTW, this is now being "featured" on Hannity & Colmes on Fox - and the Durbin tape proves your case. Sanctimonious drama queen. I believe the depths of exaggeration for TV have been plumbed.

#15 Betcha drinks all around in whichever Rantapalooza occurs when Durbin runs again he's elected. It's an attention span thing. Voters don't remember this stuff, and when somebody brings it up it becomes "the politix of personal destruction."

#16 ...when somebody brings it up it becomes "the politix of personal destruction."

And the further left on the scale the wanker squats the more egregious is the sin of reminding them. Playing videos is specifically forbidden.

#17 .com & Fred

He's up for reelection in 2006. Hopefully, the Illinois Republican Party can come up with someone bright enough to beat him over the head with this until his brains start leaking out of his ears.

The only two problems I foresee in this:
1) the Illinois Republican Party coming up with anyone bright enough to walk and chew gum at the same time.
2) You'd have to beat Dildo a looooong time before you could get anything like brains leaking out of his ears.

#18 Durbin assumes fetal position. Flush him and his Karen (post urination).
