Jimmy over at Deciever.com noticed a funny disconnect in Senator Judd Greg’s (R-NH) little tap dance as he was announcing that he wanted out of taking President Obama’s offer to become Secretary of Commerce.
When the Associated Press asked Gregg to share the results of his soul-searching, this is what he came up with:
“For 30 years, I’ve been my own person in charge of my own views, and I guess I hadn’t really focused on the job of working for somebody else and carrying their views, and so this is basically where it came out.”
If I were an arrogant jackass, this is what I might call “a teachable moment.” You see, it’s a really, really good thing that Judd Gregg realized this deep truth about himself and decided to go back to the Senate, where his job has always been to work for somebody else and carry their views.
You know — his constituents? The people of New Hampshire? Memba’ them?
I generally approve of Senator Gregg… but I gotta admit, Jimmy pegged a hilarious disconnect there!
