Pre-Obama, I gather he was, though I know about nothing about him. I gather he was fairly moderate. What is partly baffling is that he isn't even running for re-election, so why flip so hard? but the 40 votes against pay-as-you-go says a lot. there is clearly a stranglehold held on the repubs from above (or below). and not name one program he would cut? and he wanted to sit on a commission about cuts in the budget? boggles the mind. I just can't get over his attitude. How dare those women question him? If they had sounded like ditzes, I could understand his reaction but it was clear they were fairly bright, educated people. Someone called the Senate the House of Lords recently......I think that may be spot on if Gregg's attitude is typical.
