Ted:

“Biden — the perfect foil for Palin!”

Michael or Sarah?

He takes his role in the “advise” part of “advise and consent” seriously with all nominees great and small. I figure he thinks there is some merit to watching how republican nominee’s, including Sec. Rice among others, squirm and try not to react as he insults their intelligence, the intelligence of the person that nominated them, the intelligence of the other people serving and generally the intelligence of anyone who doesn’t agree with him. In such advisory role, the Senator has distinguished himself with filibustering the time allotted for questioning with his own brand of inquisition, leaving little time for an answer and little patience for a thoughtful one.

He is quite remarkable to watch.
