when a Marine looks at me and asks, “He’s yours isn’t he?” when the Marine is talking about my Senator from the State of Illinois, Dick Durbin. I’ve always been a rather proud son of Chicago Illinois…until this week. For the first time in my life, I’m ashamed of my hometown and state.
In case you’ve been missing the news this week, Senator Durbin compared our brothers and sisters in arms down at Guantanemo Bay to the Nazis, the Soviets running gulags, and Pol Pot, and he did it on the Senate floor.
