One measure of a civilized society is that words mean something: "Soviet" and "Nazi" and "Pol Pot" cannot equate to Guantanamo unless you've become utterly unmoored from reality. Spot the odd one out: 1) mass starvation; 2) gas chambers; 3) mountains of skulls; 4) lousy infidel pop music turned up to full volume. One of these is not the same as the others, and Durbin doesn't have the excuse that he's some airhead celeb or an Ivy League professor. He's the second-ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Don't they have an insanity clause?
My kids used to listen to that on Sesame Street when they were about 2 to 5 years old. IOW farther than Durbin has progressed in his intellectual development since he apparently can't tell the difference between air conditioning and bad music vs. genocide. Maybe for a rat it's a close call.
We need Gitmo. We don't need Durbin, and we don't need Leaky. We need for Durbin and Leaky to GO and Gitmo to STAY.
