and being a diplomat and doing his job, that he learned in VN to take cat naps when he could. The funny thing is that this was to work LONGER hours. It was also in response to being asked when he slept given all he was doing. (I remember he left DC the moment after the last vote on a Thursday and flew to Afghanistan and then - with Reid's permission missed a few dates, after succeeding with Kharzi, went directly to meet with the President and then on to Congress. When he spoke to the media he was still crystal clear - something the soon to be former junior Senator rarely was.)

I watched the Finance committee's healthcare hearings and the START hearings - he was not just awake, but was intensely processing everything said in an almost mind boggling way.

I suspect that the BH and BG would have had several front page stories if this were true. As to smear - of course it's a smear.

The first paragraph of this article is a good summary of what I see, Mass Nov 2012 #16

Maybe they just want him to be SOS, because he is the best person for this job. wisteria Nov 2012 #9
