Disingenuous Durbin

Fresh from his hard-lost failures against the "Gun Lobby", IL Sen. Durbin decides to go after an already beaten foe. Cigarettes. To do so, his speech writers apparently used the "Replace Text" function on their computers.

Tobacco is the only product in America that is not regulated," Durbin said. "It's time for us to restrict their marketing techniques because their target is our kids."

The study charges tobacco companies with manipulating products to entice younger smokers.


"The tobacco lobby is the most powerful on Capitol Hill," Durbin said. "This is a prime example why Washington has to change."


Come on Dick, be a little original.
