But look in the mirror and hate yourself, not the people who are doing this work. It is the job of these senators to question policy but attacks are thats what you do instead of dealing with the policy issues. We have have a very distinguished member with us, a good friend of all of us, someone who deals seriously with policy issues and is joined us today and that would be january from illinois.
