A Florida man is getting probed for posing as U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin to get out of his mortgage payments.

Sidney Hines, 67, called a collection agency five times in 2013 and 2014 impersonating “a sitting U.S. Senator from Illinois” with the initials R.D. claiming that his loan for his New Port Richey, Flor. home had been paid in full, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office indictment.

Well, at least he didn’t say, “if you your plan, you can keep your plan.” I don’t think it’s possible to defame Durbin.

That guy is just a piker compared to the REAL Dick Durbin.

In Illinois there were billboards during the Senate election with:

"DICK DICK BEFORE HE DICKS YOU!"

Gee. Why would he think that invoking the name of a corrupt ‘Rat Senator would permit him to duck his debts? Who could possibly think that could work?

Maybe he just self-identified as a senator from Illinois. Would he be denied use of a senate bathroom?

So...all I have to do in order to pull off a scam is behave like a pompous liberal jerk with a God complex?

Nah, too big a scene, too out of character for me.
