From my perch in Delaware, I can only marvel at how faded pols suddenly become white-hot in the blink of an eye. Take former Senator Chuck Hagel, for instance. I met him once back in 1999, early in his first Senate term. I’ve met many politicians in my career, but I won’t soon forget that afternoon in Hagel’s office.

Sure. He can clean my commode.

Wow, what an awful program that should be terminated immediately. Paying government workers to work as an intern in a congressional office? It really does explain so much as to how inane provisions keep getting into the laws proposed by more reasonable people. They’ve been sabotaged by bureaucrats working from within.

Oh, and a loud office with a barber chair. Got it. Just imagine members of the ATF sitting in your local congressman’s office, drafting legislation.

Would you hire any of them?

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

No.

BO's people would tell you that it is a wonderful program which saves money. Instead of having to use congressional budgets to hire "outsiders", the money stays "in the family" by avoiding the inefficiencies of providing corporate or individual profits.

He used the same logic to justify the government monopoly takeover of the student loan industry and hardly anyone batted an eye.

I think he is qualified to be janitor in a Tiajuana whore house.
