Sen. Dick Durbin must be forgetting that once you've dug yourself into a deep hole, you'd best stop shoveling.

How else to explain the Illinois Democrat's blustery reaction to the $5 a month that Bank of America Corp. plans to charge some of its customers who use debit cards? The charge, which other banks are likely to adopt, is a direct result of his lawmaking. Call it the Durbin Fee.

I like "Durbin Tax" even better. It puts everything in the proper frame of reference

BofA is my bank -- and Durbin is saying "Get the heck out of Bank of America". Can you say, "Bank run"???
