Durbin Plays Politician With Conger Baby in Shelbyville
Gov. Durbin and Mrs. Durbin visited Shelbyville on Sunday to meet Sid Conger’s newborn son. The governor reportedly entertained the infant in a playful, “goos and gaga” style while probing for the child’s politics. He asked if the baby would vote for him for U S senator when grown, and whether the child approved of the governor’s handling of fugitives. The exchange ended with the baby silent and the governor left to ponder the political implications.
