It is stomach-churning to recall that the Alexander bozo once thought he was presidential material. His presence begs the question: How the hell does the Senate of the United States attract and perpetuate such mediocrities? How does Tennesee? (And I include Fred Thompson who was perhaps the laziest Senator to grace the hallowed halls of Congress since Senator Bilbo departed.)
Alexander was selected for the Senate by Howard Baker et al with whom he served in the Bush 41 administration.
These are the same guys who cautioned against going to Baghdad in 91, deserted the Shia uprising, and wrote the ‘Report”. When they pull his strings, he jerks.
These old men, Alexander included, are the American equivalent of disgruntled communists from the Soviet Union.
