Durbin calls for Senate seat election

EXCERPT

Durbin, who just was re-elected to a third term, said he did not “enjoy a close relationship” with the governor, whom he called a “difficult man to communicate with.” He cited examples of the governor not returning his phone calls, including taking 12 days to return his call about Obama’s vacancy.

When he finally returned his call, Durbin said he asked the governor not to appoint a caretaker and then to name someone as quickly as possible. Durbin said he initially wanted Obama’s close friend Valerie Jarrett to fill the seat, but she had taken her name out of the running by the time the governor returned his phone call.

So Durbin just happens to remember that it took ‘12 days’ for Blago to call him back? That means one thing....Durbin has been checking his phone records to see if maybe he has been taped by Fitzmas.....LMAO!!
