I might read the full transcript, listen to a few folks in places like TSS, and balance ith with my own value system.
I guess I missed some other posts showing this nominee with his dentures wrapped around his loafers and other obvious gaffes, because surely the pots wouldnt be calling this keetle black about close-mindedness?
News of his nomination wasn't anything new, and he was discussed. Some were skeptical (including me). Others, like Flies, thought he might be good. Search for the thread and you'll see.
But if we have nothing to go on but this statement to Congress, isn't what he says to Congress worth something? Or should we just discount it because he hasn't said "enough" yet?
