IL Cong delegation reacts to Durbin Gitmo comments (Schakowsky says Bush Admin should apologize)
Illinois Leader ^ | June 21, 2005 | Nekesa Josey

Posted on 06/22/2005 10:22:03 AM PDT by Land_of_Lincoln_John

(Here is the relevant passage. Other than Speaker Hastert, the Illinois Congressional delegation has been pretty quiet. Except for Evanston's Jan Schakowsky, a human-hangover from the 1960s.)

REP. JAN SCHAKOWSKY (D-9):

"The Bush Administration and Republican leaders are engaged in a pathetic attempt to make Senator Dick Durbin's condemnation of the use of torture at Guantanamo Bay an issue. As a result of the revelations of conditions at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and Bagram prison in Afghanistan, the Republicans owe the American people, our soldiers and veterans an apology for undermining American values such as the Rule of Law, putting our troops at greater risk around the world, and cutting veterans health care benefits when they come home."

Democrats should apologize for congesting the highways and wasting good air.

Yo, representative Jan. Here's an idea for you: get your panties out of a knot, pull them over your head, and go stand in the corner. I'll be with you in a minute.

Turban Jan is upset for Turban Dick. Also Turban Joe, Turban John Mc., Turban Ted, Turban Kerry Turban Hillari, Turban Nancy Turban Voich are very cute, pissed off too.

Dear Rep. Schakowsky: I don't owe you a damn thing. You didn't support the U.S. in Vietnam, and you're not supporting the U.S. now, even when it's under the threat of terrorism. Maybe you owe the U.S. something.

Yeah, Schakowsky is a former member of the Illinois Viet Cong.

See my tagline (unfortunately truncated by space limitations) for what I think of this IL congresscritter's statement.

Remember Illinois is the state that produced Hillary!

Jan Schakowsky should quit the US House and spend her time keeping her hubby out of jail.
