Sen. Durbin delivering a great speech now on the Estate Tax on CSPAN2

[brentspeak]

The Rethugs are trying to push through the Estate Tax repeal for the super-wealthy, claiming (ie., lying) that the average American is subject to this tax.

There's a few things that I would add if it were me making the speech, but he's still doing a good job.

1. Listening.

I love Sen Durbin. He's doing a great job.

[Placebo]

2. So proud of my senator.

Keep fighting Senator Durbin!

[brentspeak]

3. And then the idiot, Sen.Jeff Sessions, says...

after Durbing finished: "I ask consent that the discussion of the Death Tax be extended..."

As if that's the official name of the tax.

4. He was talking about hunger in America earlier.

He mentioned in particular that one of the Chicago area food banks serving the Native American community was getting a lot of clients -- which, of course, is a sign of trouble.

I wish there were more like Durbin.
