Dick "Crocodile Tears" Durbin

A little too late for your apology, Dick. The damage has been done and you've given a gift to the terrorists you twerp. You should've gotten the first clue from irate emailers and phone calls the next day after your historic Senate speech rather than waiting a full week to finally apologize.

WASHINGTON - Under fire from Republicans and some fellow Democrats, Sen. Dick Durbin apologized Tuesday for comparing American interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to Nazis and other historically infamous figures.

“Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line,” the Illinois Democrat said. “To them I extend my heartfelt apologies.”

His voice quaking and tears welling in his eyes, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate also apologized to any soldiers who felt insulted by his remarks.

“They’re the best. I never, ever intended any disrespect for them,” he said.

No. I think he intended to disrespect the soldiers in his attempt to score political points but he miscalculated and it backfired badly. He lied, then cried to avoid being fried. This censure thing gained some more traction when McCain spoke of censure against Senator Durbin, which was a shot across the bow by McCain, more or less.
