As you might have guessed, I live in the area where the Senators live ( yes, live: most of them have no interest in going “back to the district” if they can avoid it.) I see them and their spouses at social events, school (private, naturally) and other occasions. They are generally not at all impressive, intellectually or otherwise. Martinez, the clown that Bush put in as head of the RNC is even less impressive than Lott. But boy, they sure do think they are superior. The one who stood out as a regular, decent and frankly humble guy was Santorum. Naturally, he did not last.
