in any venue he doesn't control. Including who's allowed into his presence.
A spokesman for U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) says the senator's office will no longer send media information to Quincy's oldest radio station because the station decided to let the public know he was coming to town.
...
Moyers said Angarola was not pleased that WTAD chose to make public the time and place of Durbin's September 4 visit to Quincy's Blessing Hospital to hold a meeting on health care with officials from the hospital, Quincy Medical Group and Quincy Mayor John Spring and State Senator John Sullivan (D-Rushville).
Isn't that just bloody awful? The peasants were actually informed that His Grace the Senator would be in that neck of the woods, and His Grace Is Not Pleased. Why?
Durbin, the assistant majority leader of the Senate, has been an outspoken critic of health care town hall meetings, said he didn't want to get a "sucker-punch" from constituents and opted to have a session in a conference room before an invited few and a handful of reporters.
Really doesn't like facing the peasants who vote, does he? And just who was he meeting with? Well,
Four of the 10 people Durbin chose to meet on September 4 have donated to Durbin's campaign fund in the past: Blessing Corporate Services President/CEO Brad Billings, Niemann Foods Inc. Chairman Rich Niemann, Sr., Spring and Sullivan. Durbin has also funneled several thousands of dollars from his war chest back to Spring's mayoral campaign fund.
So if you're a lowly voter, he doesn't want to have to deal with you, but if you've given him money? Or you're connected in the Illinois Jackass Politician Circle? Well, come on in!
