Biden Gives Mad Props to Roberts

Via Drudge - No sirens or links, just this blurb:
Biden To Roberts: 'You're The Best'

Exclusive Drudge sources in the U.S. Senate's Hart Building heard Democrat Sen. Joe Biden say to Judge John G. Roberts in a private conversation on the hearing room floor: 'You're the best I've ever seen before the committee'...

#6  I wish I could draw...

I envisioned a scrawny kid in a ring against a heavyweight boxer, eyes screwed shut, flailing away with both hands... but never landing because the boxer is standing their holding him at bay with one glove against the kid's forehead.

Roberts was so obviously the most intelligent person in the hearing room it was just amazing to see the D's even try to rattle him.

#4  I'll bet Roberts was also smart enough not to turn his back on Biden.

#3  You're the best I've ever seen before the committee'...

Sorry, not buying it. After reading transcripts of Biden's bloviating, I suspect the three little dots stand for something like "...at avoiding answers to our stupid, and fatuous, self-important questions".
