He wants an apology from Pelosi and Durbin.
This was not, I repeat was not, in The Onion.
WATB, indeed.
“People, like Sen. Durbin and Nancy Pelosi, who are using this for partisan gain, they ought to be ashamed of themselves,” Shimkus said on WJPF-AM radio in Herrin.
Republicans increasingly fear the scandal may help the Democrats regain the House and Senate after the Nov. 7 general elections.
Rather than issue apologies, spokespeople for Durbin and Pelosi counterattacked.
“Republicans just don’t get it; every mother in America is asking how Republicans could choose partisan politics over protecting kids, and the Republicans are still asking who could have blown their cover-up,” Pelosi spokeswoman Jennifer Crider said.
It’s perhaps fair to say the facts aren’t all in, however, the facts that are in are pretty damn bad. There used to be some shame in American politics.
