My impression of Todd Graves from yesterday's hearing

to me, the difference in watching the testimony of brad schlozman and todd graves at yesterday's senate judiciary committee hearing was night and day... schlozman, in full-tilt gonzo mode, with his "i don't recall" responses, delivered in his horribly irritating voice, with sweat dripping from his forehead, couldn't have been a greater contrast to graves' straightforward, totally professional, yet completely relaxed manner, leavened with what is an obviously solid sense of humor... i was reminded of watching patrick fitzgerald at the press conference where he announced the libby indictment... i actually got tears in my eyes because i was so moved, after all the spinning and evasion of officials in the bush coterie, to hear someone so thoroughly professional, honestly and candidly making a statement and responding to questions... now that i think of it, i had the same reaction watching richard clarke's testimony before the 9/11 commission...

check out the contrasts between schlozman and the other three... it's dramatic...

three solid, professional, dedicated, constitution-respecting public servants, and one political hack loser...
