Oh I agree. Sens. Kennedy and Schumer are 1 and 1A in my book. Old "Sheets" is just, well, old. And wrong most of the time.
You're forgetting the senator from California - She who shall not be named.
Read some of Sheets speeches on the Iraq war. He is not a harmless old man who votes party line. He deserves no praise from me. He is simply acting out his part in the demo playbook while realizing he may have a tough election coming up. He is too old to run an active campaign.
