So, whenever someone would say that a Senator or Congressman was too old, too sick, too whatever to do anything without a staffer's input, I'd just stare at them. I knew it didn't matter. I learned about some of this from you pre-blog, and some of this from my own experience talking with folks I knew who worked on the Hill.

One of my friends is very intelligent and people tell him that all the time. I think that it goes to his head so much that no one else can offer any other valid viewpoint unless it compliments his own. Perhaps this was your problem Bob. You are too smart. Or at least someone tells you are. I think that ego makes you take things for granted. One of my friends is very intelligent and people tell him that all the time.
