Wimpy Weepy Dick Durbin Apologizes?

Under pressure from Republicans and some Democrats, Senator Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, tearfully apologized Tuesday for comparing American interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to Nazis and other historically infamous figures.

“Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line,” the Illinois Democrat said. “To them I extend my heartfelt apologies.”

His voice quaking and tears welling in his eyes, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate also apologized to any soldiers who felt insulted by his remarks.

“They’re the best. I never, ever intended any disrespect for them,” he said.

Flap listened to the entire Senate floor speech on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show and will post a link to the audio and transcript when it becomes available.

But, did Durbin really repudiate his June 14th remarks?

“If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings.”

Actually, no.

Durbin needs to tell the world that he repudiates the idea that the United States is a tyrannical and murderous regime like Pol Pot or Nazi Germany.

If Durbin doesn’t, then the Senate should introduce a resolutuion repudiating these assinine and morally bankrupt statements and let him and the other Senate lefties vote for it —– if they will.
