I've met Evan Bayh -- nice enough fellow, astute politician (having people think he's a moderate, despite his voting record), in the normal intelligence range. But, come on. Anybody who writes about him this way needs to get a life:
"I'll never forget the strong, steel-eyed look in his eyes. Nothing weak there," Earl wrote in one of three online columns he posted on his Web log, or blog, about the evening. "I saw the look of a president."
Earl is behind the AmericansforBayh.com Web site and the Blogging for Bayh site.
