...Other times the problem isn't how he says things, but what he says. Biden is known for his occasionally bizarre questioning of witnesses at hearings, most notably the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito last winter. Biden riffed about his dislike of Princeton, Alito's alma mater, one day, then donned a Princeton cap the next day and said he was okay with the school. More recently, on a trip to New Hampshire last month, he noted "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent," while attempting...

...Feingold isn?t alone in targeting these left-wing activists; Senator John Kerry?s leading a filibuster of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito earlier this year was also widely seen as a campaign tactic. Like Feingold?s censure resolution, it annoyed his Democratic colleagues in the Senate and had no chance of success, but it delighted party activists...
