Compared to what? it’s the U.S. Senate after all. :-) Compared to many of them up there Hatch is fine, decent and reasonable and nothing like Ted Kennedy.
You know a man by the friends he keeps.
And...His letters to his constituents regarding Obama’s eligibility were and are INSULTING!
Hatch is polished pond scum.
That's a very, very low standard and Utah can do a lot better.
One of Hatch's biggest problems is that he's an ankle-grabber: he'll talk tough sometimes but eventually he'll give in and let the liberals have their way with him. It's not for nothing his office motto is:
Don't count your Hatches until they chicken!
