Ezra Klein caught this amazing Kinsley gaffe from South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune, who is talking about his fellow Republican Sen. Bob Corker:"I think he’s a guy who’s willing to get down into the weeds," said South Dakota Sen. John Thune, who is No. 4 in GOP leadership. "Because he immerses himself in that and understands it so well — the positions he adopts may not always be the ones that everyone else in our conference comes to."
It's amazing what happens when you think about the issues. I discuss this difference in my recent column about Corker, which gets into the backstory of his deep engagement with financial reform.
