Durbin Should Resign
Dick "Turban" Durbin has apologized. Not good enough. If Trent Lott has to step down from a Senate leadership position for making a not-very-well-thought-out joke at a party celebrating an old man with a checkered past, then Durbin should step down from his leadership position too. Where Lott's mistake was not considering all the facets of his joking compliment toward Strom Thurmond. He owned up to it and did what needed to be done. Durbin, however, KNEW what he was saying was controversial, and tried to play it off as something it wasn't for days before succumbing to pressure and tearfully apologizing.
Lott apologized FOUR TIMES before resigning. That sounds fine. Durbin should apologize three more times and quit his leadership post.
Also, will someone PLEASE kick John McCain in the balls?

McCain has balls?
I think his support of Democrats shows us clearly, he lost those, long ago.

I'm sure he once had them.
Finding them now might be a bit of a reach.
