Interesting. Levin was praising this fellow the other day. He indicated Orrin voted conservative over 80% of the time and fought for conservative judges etc. I seem to recall he was conservative until it was time to stand up to major socialist legislation...he then found a reason to support it or not vote. I must disagree with Mark in this case.

I agree with you. Although Levin is my favorite radio talker, I think he overrates the value of Hatch’s experience in getting things done should conservatives take the Senate and Presidency in 2012. Utah’s Bennett is gone and he had as much experience as Hatch and I would rather have Mike Lee any day. Levin is thinking we can’t do without these guys., but maybe he needs to brush up on this:

The Indispensable Man
Saxon N. White Kessinger ©1959

Sometime when you’re feeling important
Sometime when your ego’s in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You’re the best qualified man in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how it humbles your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out, and the hole that’s remaining
Is the measure of how you’ll be missed.
You may splash all you please when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop; and you’ll see in a moment
That it looks quite the same as before!
The moral in this quaint example
Is to do just the best that you can;
Be proud of yourself but remember -
There is no indispensable man...

Mark Levin is an Establishment mouthpiece, IMO.
