Durbin Caught on Tape, can't dispute column.

Dick Durbin has tried to flip flop on whether or not he was a source for a column on Judge Roberts. Apparently the author of the column has backed up his sources on tape and can prove it.

A law professor who used Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin as a source for a column last month about federal Judge John G. Roberts Jr. -- a column that Mr. Durbin later disputed -- has a taped phone message that he says proves the accuracy of his reporting. "The taped message is consistent with my notes as well as my email and telephone communications with editors," George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley wrote in a letter earlier this month to Mr. Durbin. "There was never a question as to the accuracy of the [column can be seen in the Washing ton times ]. . .

As you might recall, conservatives immediately accused Mr. Durbin of applying a religious "litmus test" to the Roberts confirmation, and Mr. Durbin ran for cover saying that the column was inaccurate. Sorry Senator, but it appears that Mr. Turley can back up his column. Once again you are the shame of Illinois.

This scrotum is just another in a long list of reasons I left Illinois. I just can't believe this turd gets re elected. There are a ton of Republicans voting for this guy and they have no clue who he is. The media plays the soft spoken Turbin all the time and his constituents never see the real DICK.

Doesn't matter. He will never be called on it in a meaningful way.

Dirt Bag Durbin--typical!
