Dick Durbin is my Senator. I have a lot of respect for the man. It infuriated me when Cheney threatened him over the comments he made about the Bush's mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. He's right. Politics does have its limits. God bless you Dick Durbin.

What a terrible loss for the Durbin family. I hope they are able to cope with the pain in time. My very sincere sympathy to them all.

My sympathies Senator. While I now live in AZ, I will never lose my Illinois soul. I respect and admire your service and have you and your family in my thoughts.
