Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is listed as a keynote speaker Monday night at the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Gala dinner Monday evening. Instead, Senator Kirk who has recently returned to the Senate following an absence of almost a year after suffering a stroke, delivered a simple but resounding one line speech, which brought down the house.
"I have got one message to the dictators in Iran: I am baacck," said Senator Kirk, before leaving the stage to the applause of the 13,000 pro-Israel activists and attendees.
