43. Pelosi defended him today at a Press conference when two smarmy
"Media Whore's" asked her to apologize for Durbin and then attacked her by saying that Tom DeLay had called Pelosi and Durbin unpatriotic and criticized them for not supporting the troops.
Pelosi praised Durbin and said that this was all a campaign by Repuglicans to to change the issue from their failed policies in Iraq and that she wasn't going to let them change the issue. Rep. Henry Waxman then went on to say that the questions by the smarmy reporters were like McCarthy years where if you questioned a President's policy you were labeled as unpatriotic. I thought they both did a great job of sidetracking the reporters away from Durbin as the issue and turned it right back on them and the Repugs.
Sorry to hear that Durbin had to apolgize, but Daley is a big guy in Chicago. Disgusting that he would have attacked Durbin. :-(
