The biggest paper in Sen. Durbin's home state, the Chicago Tribune, blasted Illinois' "cover- age-hungry senior senator" for the comments and noted he had "displaced the ever-present microphone long enough to insert his foot in his mouth."

Anyone know how long it took the paper to come to that no-brainer of a conclusion?

You're right that it's a "no-brainer" to conclude that Senator ("Turban") Durbin's comments were grossly unacceptable. But it takes something that obvious for the Chicago Tribune both noticed how bad it was, and brought itself to condemn Durbin in print.

We will know that the end of the world is just around the corner when the NY Times notices and condemns a comment as stupid (but solidly leftist) as Durbin's. LOL.
