With the history of Rep. Joe Wilson’s “you Lie!” incident and the statements made to the press by various and sundry GOP reps from Trent Franks to Michelle Bachmann, I find it exceedingly plausible.

The fact that it is plausible makes it all the more important to authenticate it. Dick Durbin is certainly partisan enough to allow a false rumor of this kind to go out if he felt it would serve the Democrats’ interests.
