Say hello to one of my new advertisers, Senator Russ Feingold. Regular readers may remember that I have a tendency to be rather harsh on Feingold at times, mostly having to do with his role in helping to confirm the Worst Attorney General Ever.
My take on Feingold is that he's too often a "bad maverick," when it matters (confirming Ashcroft) and a "good maverick" when it doesn't (lone vote against Patriot Act). But, that's somewhat unfair and largely a result of the fact that 3 years later I haven't been able to get over Ashcroft thing. What is definitely the case is that the Senate would be a much worse place without him.
