Durbin: I had a dream that I was running for reelection against Oberwaste and then I woke up and I realized it wasn’t a dream it was really happening! So now I will go back to sleep, wake up on Wednesday and it will be over, right?
Comment by William j Kelly Tuesday, Oct 28, 14 @ 1:33 pm
As Durbin continued to speak, Rich, tired from a long day of politicians pontificating and Sheila SIMON’S 48 minute banjo tribute to Nickleback saw something at a booth that Oscar might enjoy and realized soon enough he could be reminded of what loyalty and fidelity could be…

Look, I held my tongue when Emanuel had his residency flap, but this has gone too far! I cannot remain silent when Oberweis has a residency issue, so how can people call me inconsistent or hypocritical? I am a conscientious Illinois resident. Rich, Rich, are you listening to me?

I scratch your back and then you scratch my back. That is how we play the game out in Washington, Rich. Watch me now as I start it off. You’ll catch on. Oberweis is just too stupid to catch on to how the game is played.
