Well, it's about time...

Laura Ingraham nailed it. She said he'd weasel before Monday.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Doh!

Got me.

[yobid]

Too bad he doesn't mean it. Jagoff.

[gulfcoast6]

Yeah, he was BEGGED enough times to say something.

[gate2wire]

LOL.

[Doohickey]

This has to be satire. He apologized to Cambodia.

[jtminton]

Um. You guys realize this is satire, right?

[Servant of the 9]

That is not an apology for comparing Guantanamo to Hitler, Pol Pot or Stalin. It is a reiteration of them.

Where's the apologies to the US Troops?

[cripplecreek]

"I realize that my comments unjustly slandered many people in southeast Asia and other places who were simply trying to achieve a better society, and did not intend to compare what they did to the horrific atrocities that were occuring, and continue to occur, in Guantanamo."


Satire?

[conservativecorner]

"I hope that this apology will finally lay this issue to rest."

Fat chance you rat bas-turd!

[dts32041]

I support certain old senate traditions.

[tobyhill]

Duh....This has to be some joke.

[NCLaw441]

"horrific atrocities that were occuring, and continue to occur, in Guantanamo." Even as he apologizes he sticks his foot further into his mouth. What atrocities of any kind have occurred at Guantanamo? Of these, if Durbin can name any, which are "horrific?" Has anyone died? Lost limbs? Had bones broken? Been beaten? The people held at Gitmo are prisoners of war. They were intent on killing our soldiers, and some may, in fact, have done so. I tire of Durbin and his ilk trying to advise the military (whom they loathe) about how to do their job. Sen. Durbin, may I suggest that you just STFU for a while?

[jtminton]

THIS IS A JOKE. COMEDY. NOT REAL

[cvq3842]

Funny! Also tragic.

I wonder how Durbin would feel if I said something like "the contemptuous sentiments behind Durbin's remarks make me think about that sc*mbag who fragged two of his fellow soldiers last week. But I'm not comparing or equating the two . . . "

[dead]

I was shocked that he savaged communists in the first place. I'm glad he's mended that fence.

[Flyer]

I think this thread emphasizes just how important headlines are.

[MinuteGal]

Folks, please......this is a satirical piece.

However, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Durbin Laden issued such a statement.

You get a pole about 12 feet long - you tie Durbin to it - then you get some roofing tar and you swear the tar all over Durbin - then you break open a feather pillow and dump the feathers on to the tar - then you pick up the pole and parade the Sh*t Head around Washington and dump Durbin - the pole and the tar and feathers into the Patomac.

He does not serve this country well.
