Cliffs Notes on Durbin

I have but two questions related to the whole Dick Durbin affair:

1) Why did Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) make his now-infamous remarks comparing the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to that under the Nazis, Pol Pot, and the Soviets during debate on the Senate ENERGY bill?

2) Why did the very same rightwingers who are making such a big deal about the publicizing of Durbin's remarks by al-Jazeera do such a great job of publicizing the remarks themselves?
