And Daley is a real ... something ~ "On Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley — a fellow Democrat — added his voice to the chorus of criticism, saying, "I think it's a disgrace to say that any man or woman in the military would act like that." " uhm, such acts did occur just as described by Durbin. So where is the disgrace? Or is it a disgrace in the neocon-reality that Daley seems to have grasped and embraced to report factual events. Such events did occur, either perpetrated by a few bad apples or by young people following orders. The only disgrace is trying to separate one man's torture from another man's torture by any justification and to compound that disgrace by denying it happened.

Thanks! My take is that Durbin is handling it perfectly, he's said exactly what he decided to say (unlike us where we ad lib), and he made his point with a tuned... great speech. Funky ain't it? I'm wrong sometimes. Maybe not now.

The smell of blood is an aphrodisiac to them. Durbin gave them what they wanted. Now he's their bitch.

Santorum apologized for a Nazi remark last week. So what? The real issue is that moderates of both parties have finally rebeled against Bush and no longer fear the rightwing. This will also attract honest conservatives to finally start speaking their hearts and minds. The rightwing will be more and more isolated, detested, distrusted and outside the mainstream. 2006 and the fall of Delay could be the end of the Bush Rightwing Revolution. At least in terms of ever having majority rule again.

What goes on in American politics would be heavily mocked in a Banana Republic. On the other hand, it does have all the "right stuff" for a daytime "soap" -- Number 2 Democrat speaks his mind and weeps -- Attack dogs are called out (even in his own party!) -- He is widely reviled for his foul act -- Tail between his legs, he apologizes and weeps (again) -- Slinks away into the darkness -- GOTO next scene of Paris Hilton being groped by the Governor of a large Western State...... Namaste! Jim
