I will sound a contrary note here. I plan to vote for Booker against the strange Mr. Lonegan, who’s really, really out there. I am willing to keep an open mind and be happy if Booker does a good job in the Senate.

However, I don’t like Booker at all. He is a big bag of hot air. His major accomplishments have been to be a very successful twitter writer. For me, the essence of Mayor Booker was the rescue of the freezing dog last winter. Mayor Booker showed up to rescue the poor dog. But did he immediately bundle the shivering dog into a police car to get warm and safe? Yes, you say? The obvious thing to do if you’re rescuing a freezing dog would be to….. get it warm?

Oh, please. Let’s get real. This is Cory Booker. So he pulled the dog off the stoop where it was, and stuck the poor thing in the snow so he could get a good picture for his twitter account. Only then, when he got a tweet off with the picture of the shivering dog in the snow, did he let the poor animal get warm.
