How a man who supported Al Gore's attempt to throw out the votes from sailors on the USS Cole ever got to be on the Armed Services Committee- now THAT'S a national embarrassment.
He's Ted Baxter in space.
I usually try to only post articles directly about or by the person in question. I posted that one for two reasons. First because the title was irresistible, in context. Second because I think Nelson is queued up to attack the administration over VA health care issues this week and he clearly will be using official and focus group tested talking points. This article represents the talking points to me, so I expect him to use phrases from it almost verbatim. It may even have been published in order to give him something to quote from. He's not smart enough for anyone to believe he could come up with an idea of his own, after all.
And the Ted Baxter comparison is perfect. Ted Knight, however, was a very bright and, from everything I've heard, a very nice man.
