The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate yesterday blamed "the right wing" and elements of the press "in service to it" for repeating Howard Dean's remarks about Republicans and inflating them out of proportion.
"I think we all understand what's happening with you all," said Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, in remarks echoing Hillary Rodham Clinton's blaming a "vast right-wing conspiracy" for her husband's legal-ethical woes.
"The right wing has got the agenda moving. Fox [News Channel] and everybody's got the agenda. It's all about Howard Dean. You've bought into it," Mr. Durbin said.

[Jay Howard Smith]

"Last week's scandal was Deep Throat. This week's scandal is Dean's Throat. And, apparently, Dean likes the taste of his own foot."

What a classic line....!

When you get to the bottom of a hole, STOP digging. The Dumbocrats keep digging for some reason. They are insane.

[endthematrix]

That's my Senator...Arrrrg! As a bonus *BARF* we get Obama, Governor Blagojevich and Chicago Mayor Daley? Oh sweet Texas, I can't wait much more.

Isn't it fun to watch the usual gang of idiots distance themselves from Howard Dean? He is the only one with the guts to say what they are all thinking, but now, he is extreme, and FOX News is to blame...

Wow. Poor Dick.

[andie74]

They dig because they are desperate. I say, dig on!

[RWR8189]

Well then this has got to be rock bottom?

I mean things can't get worse than they are now?

This is the Dem's high water mark in Illinois, and hopefully next year we start turning the tide.

That's what I keep telling myself at least...

It's like watching a wildlife special on lemmings. Wow, lemmings really do follow each other over a cliff.

:-)

[Caipirabob]

Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin is yet another example that people can be "that stupid."

[leadpenny]

Durbin makes Obama look normal.

[andie74]

Wow, lemmings really do follow each other over a cliff.

If only...

[Popman]

Ron Bonjean, a spokesman for House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, Illinois Republican, said: "Last week's scandal was Deep Throat. This week's scandal is Dean's Throat. And, apparently, Dean likes the taste of his own foot."

[Northern Alliance]

It's not clear who he was speaking to, but if it was the press in general, then this is all good. They do not look kindly on those that accuse them of being naive and easily manipulated.

Re: things can't get worse than they are now?

The Statehouse could turn Liberal...doubt it, but we should thank the stars that we shot down many gun bans.

[andie74]

Qu'elle horreur!

To be led astray by the Fox News Channel! WHAT could be worse?!?/s off

See, I see this as "Fox is propagandizing the nation, and we don;t want to go down that road of filth. MSM, lay off of Dean, and we'll do our best to keep him quiet. After all, he says some unfortunate things, but we all say things in the heat of the moment."

For our sakes, Dean is much more animated than Terry McAwful ever was.

"You can't let up on it. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves."

Apparently, it's somehow OUR fault they went ahead and annointed a dumb@ss as their leader. :)

[Nathan Zachary]

Amazing. It's the right wings fault for what Dean said.
It's the right wings fault for what Bubba did.
Is it the right wings fault for Hillary sticking $100 grand in her bank acount from Cattle stock she got because her husband gave the company a 7 million dollar tax break too?

[syriacus]

Durbin: It's all about Howard Dean.

Dean is begging for attention.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wait 'til Dean goes into total meltdown and exposes his tiny little pecker on national television. He'll blame his lack of endowment on the right wing, too.

[Chi-townChief]

Hence the name, Senator Dickhead.
