I don't see anything even slightly resembling Paul the Lunatic. This guy would appear to be one of those rare (I'm tempted to say mythical) Republicans that understand the concept of facts. He comes across as far more level-headed, reasonable, and knowledgeable than most. Ignoring his positions, his behavior and presentation has far more resemblance to Al Franken than to Ron Paul. And I for one, find it much easier to work with someone who at least knows facts about the subject he's discussing, than to work with someone like Boehner or Inhofe, who wouldn't know a fact if it bit them on the ass.

The real question is how much of this is for appearance, and how much of it is real.

You're right. I redacted the description.

Now this is how an adult admits wrongdoing. Simple and honest instead of combative, inflammatory, and meandering. And I've got more respect for silvercord because of it.

Also...

What's the deal with New Jersey governors being named Christie? Christie Todd Whitman and now Chris Christie? What's going on up there?

It's not, actually. First, it's ridiculous for him to act like the question wasn't asked in a calm reasonable tone. Second, what actually happened was the result of Christie instructing an appointee of his the exact actions to take during negotiations with teachers unions. They blew up, and as a direct result of that, NJ lost 400million in federal funding.

The appointee was thrown under the bus by Christie, and he acts like he could have done nothing about it. This isn't how an adult admits wrongdoing, it's how a career politician does it.

Shuac wasn't referring to Christie.
