Ehh...Menendez

A disappointing piece of news from the New York Times this morning. Anonymous sources have revealed that Jon Corzine has chosen Represenative Robert Menendez to take his seat in the U.S Senate.

Will Menendez be any good in the senate? Who knows? Maybe he's as idealistic as pragmatic, but nevertheless, he's gained the reputation of a hack for some reason or another. The fact that he has that reputation should be enough to disqualify him for the job.
