Dick Durbin - You da Man!
The SItuation room - I am SO glad he is Illinois' senior senator. This man is great.
Wolf is actually being good with questions, and Dick is knocking them out of the park.

2. Started off talking about Andy Card's resignation.
Durbin said, "this man was the one guy whose word was good. honest, hard-working, responsible and honorable. if this is how they are cleaning house, they have started with exactly the wrong person." (Or close to that.)

He was asked about his replacement, "I don't know him, but consider that we went from a budget surplus to the largest budget deficit in our history - and he was in charge of that budget, I view this selection as a potential disaster."

Finally, on Rummie, he made it clear that so many errors, problems and worse have occured, that he does not view him favorably. Wolf asked if that meant he wanted hi resignation, "That is not far from the truth."

My memory is not 100% perfect, but I think I got the taste of things.

3. After 9-11, I have a hard time seeing Andy Card as "honorable".

However compared to others, he may appear more 'appealing'.
