Democrats are better politicians than Republicans. I was watching a press conference on C-Span earlier today and noticed how adroitly Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D), the vice-chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence, gently dismissed the committee’s chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts (R), without poor Pat even noticing it. Brilliant. Ol’ Jay stuck around for an additional two or three minutes answering questions.
