Ducking the Durbin Slander

From this morning's Washington Times:

"Several Democrats ducked the furor yesterday.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Democrat, declined to comment, saying she had not heard Mr. Durbin's speech. When a reporter read the passage to her, she declined again.
The offices of Democratic Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut did not answer calls for comment."

What's John Corzine think of Durbin's slander? Do the voters of New Jersey --Corzine is running for governor there right now-- get to know if Corzine agrees with Durbin's assessment or supports Durbin's continuation as #2.

Every member of the military and their families and every voter who admires the military should be watching very closely as the Democratic Party and MSM say and do nothing about Dick Durbin's smear. You can't be a supporter of the military and allow the #2 Democrat in the Senate to put the Nazi/Stalin/Pol Pot brand on the troops, which is exactly what Durbin did. And his feeble attempt t a rewrite of what he said will not work. John Podhoretz has exactly the right take.

As predicted yesterday, the voices of MSM are silent. Not one editorial word from the big newspapers, although the Los Angeles Times runs a David Gelernter piece that calls Durbin's slander an "astonishing, obscene piece of ignorance." Kinsley's crowd did find time to write at length on the war yesterday, and on yesterday's call for a timetable for troop withdrawal, but could not find the space for even a mention of Durbin's slander in that editorial. My guess is that no one at the paper can understand what all the fuss is about.
