LABRADOR: Points for honesty, anyway

One has to appreciate the candor of Raul Labrador when he states "I don't really have an answer. I'm here to learn." Still, since this is the same guy who had to fly halfway around the world on the taxpayer's dime so that he could start to figure out the situation in a war zone, I'm left with the sense that we should, next time around, put a person in Congress who has more to offer than a steep learning curve.
