Ever since Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., launched her bid for president, she’s been widely described as a “centrist” or “moderate.” In reality, she is quite liberal by any objective measure.

Klobuchar’s campaign launch has been marred by reports about her rough treatment of staff that reached comedic heights with the revelation that she once deployed a hair comb as an eating utensil. Count me among those who don’t see such anecdotes as having any bearing on her qualifications for being president, as many great leaders have been known to be horrible bosses.
