Durbin offered proof of column

Senator Dick "Turban" Durbin (Donk - IL) got himself stuck in the waffle iron, while trying to backpedal after applying a de-facto religious test to the nomination of Judge Roberts to the SCOTUS.

A law professor who used Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin as a source for a column last month about federal Judge John G. Roberts Jr. -- a column that Mr. Durbin later disputed -- has a taped phone message that he says proves the accuracy of his reporting.

Damn! Pesky factual evidence of weasels at work! How's a Donk politicial supposed to do his thing when someone holds him (or her) to the facts!

In an Aug. 4 letter to Mr. Durbin, Mr. Turley laid out his detailed recollection of the situation and quoted extensively from a taped telephone message from Mr. Shoemaker. "While speculation continues as to what was said in your meeting, I wanted to establish that everything said in my article was taken directly from my notes, confirmed by your staff, and never questioned on any point on accuracy," Mr. Turley wrote. "I stayed out of this controversy for over two weeks as your staff has insisted that the account was inaccurate. However, it is grossly unfair to present this matter as an error on our part when we specifically confirmed the account with your staff and never heard a single objection on accuracy until the story ran."

What? A Donk Senator waffling? Anyone got some syrup?

This Cindy Sheehan thing is turning into a mess. I had vowed to myself that I wasn't going to say anything else about her after my two initial posts, but violated that pledge when her moonbats-in-arms accused the Secret Service...

What can one say about this? Probably quite a bit, but the Chief will let the situation speak for itself in this case.

The husband of Cindy Sheehan has filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" with his anti-war wife.

This article does answer one question about the case of the moonbat protest camper & her family:

Members of her husband's family have criticized her. Last week, Casey's aunt and godmother, Cherie Quararolo of Kelseyville, Calif., and others in the family sent e-mail to a California radio station that challenged Mrs. Sheehan's motives. "We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She appears to be promoting her own personal agenda at the expense of her son's good name and reputation," the family members said. "The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our president, silently with prayer and respect."

Chad Schuldt pulls off another partisan-based lie. This one is about Cindy Sheehan:The most important fact in the story is that Sheehan lost her son in the war last spring. She has been rebuffed by the President and there have...

I have not posted anything on the Cindy Sheehan business, largely on account of being a coward. Exactly how do you criticize the actions of a mother who lost her son? But Ms. Sheehan's grief is not a blanket grant...
