F. Jim reviewed by Rolling Stone -- no stars

This from a Rolling Stone article by Matt Taibbi, entitled, "Four amendments and a funeral: A month inside the house of horrors that is Congress."

This is the longest section on Sensenbrenner, but there's more.

Sensenbrenner is your basic Fat Evil Prick, perfectly cast as a dictatorial committee chairman: He has the requisite moist-with-sweat pink neck, the dour expression, the penchant for pointless bile and vengefulness. Only a month before, on June 10th, Sensenbrenner suddenly decided he'd heard enough during a Judiciary Committee hearing on the Patriot Act and went completely Tasmanian devil on a group of Democratic witnesses who had come to share stories of abuses at places like GuantanamoBay. Apparently not wanting to hear any of that stuff, Sensenbrenner got up midmeeting and killed the lights, turned off the microphones and shut down the C-Span feed, before marching his fellow Republicans out of the room -- leaving the Democrats and their witnesses in the dark.
Hat tip to EyeOnWisconsin.

Correction.

Sensenbrenner did not "leave the Democrats in the dark."

He simply returned them to their natural habitat.

The fact that Rolling Stones thinks that Sensenbrenner is a “fat evil prick” is exactly why he is so beloved in his district.

I feel compelled to defend his district, in which fat evil pricks do not constitute a majority, and probably no more than 35%.
