This isn't going away....Durbin opened a hornets nest here. Cheney spoke out today.... Bush will soon.....next will be calls to have Durbin censured.

This is gaining steam but the hour.

Dickie is going to get consumed by the backlash.

Who got to him?

No one. He is using an old tactic:

Say something completely outrageous, disgusting, ignorant that will please the wacked out DeathoCrat base and then later apologize or make a statement that the remarks were misunderstood or taken out of context, or both.

Plus, if an 'apology' is given, it is not really an apology. Senators feel they are above us regular peeples and have no need to apologize for anything as they are never wrong. It is we, the peeples, who just do not understand the words that are coming out of their mouths.

They do this because historically the electorate has a very short memory and are, well ignorant (in the politicians eyes).

But now, with the advent of the Internet, statements like this can be found months or years later.

I suspect that the Dem's are telling him to offer some sort of an apology. They are feeling the heat of his comments and those anti-semitic letters passed out at that meeting Conyers and Moran had yesterday.

Reid had to realize he couldn't cover for Turbin and insisted he put something out to minimize the damage. Who else but Reid.

Fred Barnes was right. He said last night, "Oh he'll apologize". Then he and Mort laughed predicting it would be just this kind of half-ass apology.

Everyone remembers getting an apology like this, totally insincere and unrepentant. "I'm sorry if your feelings got hurt", not "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings".
