Best of the DustSwarm

Stupid Statements, no apologies, no apology apologies, no condemnation of the remarks from the left, and hardly a mention in the MSM. That’s the short version of Dick Durbin, future former Senator from Illinois. In spite of all of that insightful news can still be found. Here’s some of the best coverage I’ve found this morning.
Senator Dick Durbin has finally attempted to calm the waters with a statement of “regret” . . . This, of course, is the classic example of the non-apology apology. Read “Durbin: I’m Sorry You Didn’t Comprehend My Genius at Captain’s Quarters”
The Balance Sheet says, “Senator Durbin must resign his leadership position and, if he has any honor, resign from the Senate. The United States Senate must censure and condemn the senior senator from Illinois.” Read “Senator Durbin’s ‘Regrets’ ”
“I believe Comrade Durbin should step down, actually better yet he should be recalled. The people from Illinois should demand a recall of this piece of trash.” At least that’s what was said over at FloppingAces. Read “Durbin Must Go”
Michelle Malkin has wrapped the whole package up with her usual flair and detail. (She also added over 100 visits to this new undertaking with her link Thursday night. Thanks! And a 
cup of coffee for you, Michelle). She doesn’t miss the humor that is out there, either. My favorits spoof is “An ongoing series featuring the correspondence of Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), America’s most dynamic metaphorist” called “From the Desk of Senator Dick” at Iowahawk
Hugh Hewitt covers the story in depth as well, particularly what the press is (or isn’t) saying about the whole thing. He also mentions a new blog, Bloggers For Censure: Dick Durbin Held Accountable that makes the statement “Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois has made some outrageous statements about the character of our very nation. Such statements from a sitting U.S. Senator are unacceptable. We the people have the right to hold him responsible by censure or resignation as a representative of this greatest nation on Earth.” Add your thoughts there.
Enjoy your Saturday folks. As for me? Well, the lawn isn’t going to mow itself, I guess.
