Dick Durbin’s flaw, similar to when he called our troops Nazi’s then stood firm after calls for his apology came in. He collapsed however when Chicago’s Mayor Daley openly called for Durbin’s apology, after which Dick mustered strength, then followed up with his sorry statements.
These are the same folks who are afraid to call a terrorist a terrorist. We’re supposed to be surprised ?
Imagine how much crap Turban has heard about Burris that he is even willing to admit Rush rolled him over race to get rid of his new junior Senator!
