Could the Senate Democrats Finally Be Growing Spines?

Maybe.

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) stepped out on a limb today by holding forth that our nation's interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay's "Camp X-Ray" were actually copied from regimes that followed similar tactics. He dropped the N-word, the G-word and added a new one, the P-word. Now for those of you playing along at home, that would be Nazi, Gulag, and - surprise! - Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge tyrant of Cambodia whose followers massacred 2 million of their own people.

Needless to say, the pro-Fascist pundits started screaming, and demanded that Durbin be tried for treason or apologize.

Mirabile visu, a Democratic Senator refused to back down or offer an apology for his rhetoric, and even challenged the Bushite Junta to apologize for their tactics down at Gitmo.

Could it be that Howard Dean is setting an example, and more Democratic leaders may follow his lead? Could we start seeing Democrats in office start showing that they haven't all voluntarily castrated themselves?

Stay tuned ....
