Durbin: Meeting with constituents at townhalls on healthcare reform is not productive. (via Hotair)

Me: Senators refusing to meet with constituents to help explain how radical legislation will work are not productive, and thus not worth re-election. (via my Mouffffffffffff)

Add Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) to the list of Milk Carton Politicians, with a special mention for hubris and arrogance.  Unlike some of his colleagues, who put their mouths into hiding along with the rest of their bodies rather than face angry constituents, Durbin tells the public that meeting with voters is just “not productive.” But do you know what is productive [according to Durbin]?  Meeting with lobbyists.

What a doofus. What is even more of a crime is that this yookle will get re-elected to office, because that’s how Illinois rolls. The more corrupt you are, the more likely your odds at getting elected.  Yeah, let’s elect another dimwit Senator who cares more about how full his back pocket is than the constituents who voted him into office.

Way to go, Illinois! Lincoln is probably rolling in his grave.
