Let the Durbin meltdown begin. I'll bring the marshmallows. Looks like this story has legs.

I hope the Republican Party in Illinois - which seems to be a shambles - can pull itself together and mount a credible candidate against Turban Durbin. There is no fundamental reason why the Land of Lincoln should be a blue state.

Republicans should point out that the police deptartment run by the same Chicago Democrat machine that put Durbin in the Senate has done far worse to suspected criminals than anything done at Gitmo and Abu Gharib by American service members.

"we've seen recently a great disinhibition of the angry left base of the Democratic Party. They're just acting like lunatics. You've got all of Howard Dean's crazy comments. You've got Charley Rangle saying that liberating Iraq is as bad as the holocaust. You've got Dick Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, likening American troops to Nazis. You've got yesterday, Representative John Conyers held a make-believe impeachment hearing on Iraq...."

Yes, from that laundry list of recent rants, you'd think the left had lost its collective mind. So far, the only democrat I've heard offer even the mildest rebuke of Durbin, was Jay Rockefeller, and all he said was, "I would have used different words".

Sean played the tape of a gutsy New York reporter who repeatedly asked Hillary what she thought of Durbin's remarks, but she refused to comment.

But what now? John McCain will have the entire hour on Sunday's Meet The Press. Will Russert even ask him about Durbin's comments?

Will Durbin's non-apology apology get him off the hook?

The talking points memo must have gone out to all card carrying liberals. Any of them who've been forced to comment on Durbin at all say variations of: "using the Nazi analogy is a bad thing".

I hope our guys keep up the attack on Durbin.

I hope someone reminds voters that Durbin's remarks expose the left's lack of understanding of the military, and their hatred for the military. For certain, his remarks explain why voters have never, and should never, trust liberals to run the military.
