Roberts Hearings: We Love Joe

Leave it to Senator Joe Biden to spice up the hearings. He's the first senator to bring any kind of emotional weight to his questions, even raising John Robert's temperature a little. And what brought feelings to a boil? Questions about what kind of questions Roberts would answer. Meta! Is this a confirmation hearing or a graduate school class?

Of course, Biden wouldn't be Biden if he didn't bring his showboat, and so our favorite quote of the say so far, discussing, er, some act we didn't catch: "This is close to my heart, because I wrote it. People say they wrote things, I actually did, my little ole self with my staff."
