Yesterday Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign co-chair, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), preached on MSNBC that the “hottest ring of hell” was reserved for those who criticize Obama’s wife, Michelle:


know Michelle, she’s been my friend, a friend of my wife, for many, many years. She can take it. She can handle herself. She’s a very accomplished person. But I will tell you this: the hottest ring in hell is reserved for those in politics who attack their opponents’ families. And if there are some Republican strategists who think that’t the way to win the election, I think they’re wrong.
