He seemed jittery and weird last night. . . kept clenching and un-clenching his jaw muscles . . . kept wringing his hands . . . and yelled at every question. He seemed wired. Maybe too many Red Bulls.
It speaks of a personality so convinced in its own truth that any attempt to unwind him from it is met with near-rabid opposition.
I once valued him as one of the Congressmen that came out of the Contract With America in the early 90s and he was a valuable addition to that cause in some ways. But he was just like all the other RINOs and he went on to bigger and better things. Now to me he seems like a bitter, rancid older man that isn’t willing to cede one bit in his pandering to power and votes. Screw him.
