Given that Kirk threw Oberweis under the bus to work with his “colleague across the aisle” dickead durbin” I think it is payback with interest when Durbin reciprocates with dispatching Kirk a la Fredo in Godfather II
But to be fair to Kirk, I probably wouldn’t want to campaign with icecream Oberweis either. Truax was 50 times better, but the state party got their man, a proven loser and Rovian.
The excuse though, “i value my relationship with the biggest dichead in the senate” was almost satirical. What Republican would say this? Kirk, that’s who.
