Good. Harkin is one nasty POS. Remember him shouting “Bullshit!” at President Bush?
It’s always good news when a tornado disapperars into the sky...but then you have to clean up the mess.
I know Tom Harkin personally and have visited him in his little beach cottage at Elbow Cay in the Bahamas. He seemed to be one of those professional pols who had a fine ear for his constituents in Iowa and could therefore inoculate himself from criticism and political defeat. This allowed him to behave in a way that was 180 degrees out from the nature of the people of Iowa, even considering the odd pacifist strain that runs through the state. Good to see him go.
