Look over there--it's Dick Durbin!

Seems to me that this week's news shows a big difference between the Republican vs. Democrat sound machines.

Dick Durbin reads an FBI report and says it's hard to believe that what's being read isn't something from Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot regimes. What he reads describes Americans forcing prisoners at Gitmo to endure temperature extremes, held in position until they piss and shit all over themselves. No one disputes the factual truth of what he read. And then he has to apologize for not supporting our troops. Democrats don't stand up from him as a group.

Meanwhile, Karl Rove can say that liberals, which some 20+% of Americans self-identify as, are traitorous but he doesn't have to apologize and all his Republican buddies stand up for him.

And President Bush says Iranian elections are a sham, which is broadcast all over Iran and appears to have led to a higher voter turnout. No one calls for an apology from Bush for helping the current regime of 1/3 of the axis of evil.

But Bush and Rove are the good Americans in the eyes of their followers and Durbin is evil incarnate? Weird, huh?
