Interesting UL piece on Gregg's refusal to do his job while waiting to be confirmed.

While we've been running hard with the AWOL Gregg meme for over a week now, the piece is interesting in that it shows figures from the left and the right, as polar opposite as Kathy Sullivan and Grover Norquist, united in their disappointment over Gregg's inability to cast votes that represent New Hampshire during this critical time.

But the most telling of all: who are the only two people defending Gregg?  Warren Rudman, and the person who declared Gregg's relection all but a shoo-in:Andrew Smith, an associate political science professor at UNH, said Gregg was in a "damned-if-you-do-or-damned-if-you-don't situation."Isn't it fascinating how Judd Gregg has managed this entire adventure to his and Mitch's benefit?
