Hensarling’s sadly underperformed his position in the House leadership IMO. (He was the good old boy they named instead of Bachmann, who actually knows how to get a message out.)
But Upton is the embarrassment in this group. Just whose corporate water was he carrying when he banned our light bulbs? GE’s?

I remember it well. I also note that Hensarling seems to be Boehner’s little caboose in the same way that Graham is to McCain. The dismissal of Bachmann with that appointment told me all I needed to know about how things were going to go for the 2010 House of Representatives.
