The answer to your closing question is NO. There aren't enough sitting senators with the personal integrity and political will to do it. My senators (dems) act like independent types but when viewed overall, they carry the water for the administration. Sad.

So that's what Jon Lovitz is doing these days.

A lot of "really smart" people have been taken in by hustlers and their shills. Just look at Washington, D. C., Hollywood, and the media. Hawking is sadly just another mark. As stated previously, intelligence doesn't necessarily make you wise. Mr. Hawking is entitled to express his opinion, and as a public figure (which he probably relishes) he is subject to public scrutiny.

I presume you meant "Chavez" in lieu of "Charen" in your first sentence. Different columnist.

Don't pay any attention to this article. HuffPo said there may have been a little incompetence, but no cover up. And Eugene Robinson said it is a witch hunt. So there, the REAL truth comes out. That will make the Obama Bozos feel better. Interesting that Robinson uses that theme in his column after Obama called the House hearings a witch hunt. White House toady comes to mind.

In my opinion, not so much off-topic as a correlation to the topic. It speaks to the attitude that permeates the left in its smears and assassinations of character in place of sound arguments. Deflection and misdirection. The terms sneering and smirk go hand in glove with discredited in the left's lexicon.

Your son is the exception to the rule these days. Perhaps soon even an aberration. Sad.

10-4 on that.

Perhaps exposing the fact that the "king" has no clothes and should be dismissed. We need to read his words, but put them into the perspective of the total body of work that Dennis Prager has produced over the years. Doing that will reveal the vacuousness of the little king's words.

You are correct, but in Colorado Senator Bennet portrays himself as the champion of the little guy. However, he voted against the recent tax bill because of the compromise to $400k income vs $250k. He wanted to tax more people at lower incomes than was passed. I have not heard one word regarding him giving up any portion of his wealth to reduce the debt or to fund Obamacare. Vulture capitalist and sleight of hand artist is he.
