Turbin Durbin bringing home the bacon.

Is just a standard payout or does he have to do a twofer, since the other senator from illinois no longer accepts earmarks.

I watched c-span this morning. John Kyle and Jeff Sessions spoke out about this CR because it is LOADED with pork, and the dem “leaders” brought it up late, with no time for debate or amendments. The US Congress has become the enemy of the United States Of America..........(hey...there’s my new tagline...)

[HoosierHawk]

Which is why he keeps getting re-elected.

Let me first say, Dick Durbin is a scumbag and should be in prison. On the other hand, I don’t see a problem with most of these projects. There may be some pork there, but they seem to be legitimate DOD projects.

Absolutely no politician is more despicable to me than Dick Durbin. Second is Blagojevich.

EJ&E Railroad Bridge, Morris: $2 million to improve the EJ&E Bridge on the Illinois River, near Morris, IL. To date, more than $15 million has been appropriated for the EJ&E Bridge, which is hit by marine vessels more often than any other bridge in America. Repair of the bridge is a priority for the United States Coast Guard.

The Bridge Over NoWhere. If it's getting hit by marine vessles, that must include a lot of jet skiers and bass boats.

As Fran Eaton of http://www.illinoisreview.com has dubbed him...

...Dick Durbin, Bag-Man of the Democratic Left.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

In an attempt to maintain my sanity..I am watching a re run of The Sopranos....we need “ the Ton “ to straighten out the Libs communist take over!

Now why does his state need that much money. Why does any state need that much money.

They are just sinking us. Please whichever side of the aisle anyone is on; get rid of these crooks. That money will disappear before it ever sees the light of day.

[Skid Marx]

This also reminds me, I miss Terri O’Brien.
