He was on the working group that came up with the first Senate health care bill, and his staffer had the audacity to tell me that Toomey didn't know what was in the bill that he was supposedly involved in drafting. I asked how it was possible that he didn't know what was in the bill that he was tasked with helping to write. The guy actually was at a total loss for words.
