The MSM will be all over this, oh wait, he's a Democrat!
Several days ago Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois made this lame and stupid attempt at humor by telling this joke at the opening of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Illinois. Now call me cynical but if this were a Republican saying this I think we would be soon seeing his resignation from the Senate but he's a Democrat so the MSM will just ignore it...
Everyone with a speaking role, naturally, sang the praises of Lincoln. But there were a few attempts at levity that fell flat, beginning with Durbin's recollection of a story related to him by the late federal Judge Abraham Lincoln Marovitz, who donated an extensive Lincoln book collection to the library.
"Judge Marovitz used to say that his mother believed President Lincoln was Jewish. After all, his first name was Abraham, and then to confirm it, she learned that John Wilkes Booth shot him in the temple," Durbin said, provoking tepid laughter.
