This whole essay is excellent. Something needs to happen to Durbin for this, politically or socially. He has to lose his position or his office, or both. Illinois needs to rally against him. The Senate needs to censure him.
But I do have two contrary thoughts, both very serious:
1. I do not see how Durbin can rationally be punished, when Ted Kennedy got away with his appalling and outrageous remarks earlier. And
2. Being a Democrat means never experiencing consequences for your own actions.
So I greatly fear nothing will happen.
Being a Democrat means NEVER havng to say you're sorry.
