Would a Democrat lie?

I want to highlight this part of today's post by Hugh Hewitt, dealing with Senator Durbin and his story about Judge Roberts which Jonathon Turley published:

I think Dick "you'd think I was describing Nazis" Durbin is a double-talking hack who wanted to plant a story but didn't think Turley would quote him. It is pretty clear that Durbin lied to Turley, and that is a warning to the nominee to always have a witness with him when he talks to Democrats.

Update -- see Betsy for more. Apparently, Durbin's press secretary also has difficulties keeping his stories straight.
