Moron Durbin

Or more on Durbin....(Brainster uses "moron" within this context a lot.)

The Chicago Tribune had an extensive profile on Democratic Senator Dick Durbin in today's edition.

If you're interested in learning about what legislation the Illinois Democrat has had turned into law, you won't find anything in this article about that. Could it be, just possibly, that Durbin has no legislative accomplishments?

Here is a telling excerpt from the Tribune article:

Durbin has spent most of his adult life in and around legislatures. During college and law school at Georgetown University, he worked for Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois. Later, he became parliamentarian of the Illinois Senate, counsel to the state Senate Judiciary Committee and an aide to Lt. Gov. Paul Simon before winning election to the U.S. House in 1982.

Note no private sector experience. Oh, he may have worked at a law firm for a few years, but no, I hate to say it "real job." No real public sector CEO jobs either. No "Governor" or "Mayor" Durbin. He's in love with the process of the legislature, or stopping the process.

And he represents a party that has no concrete ideas, other than opposing the elected Republican majority.

In short, Durbin is worthless.
