Libby Copeland takes aim at Barr:

Is there any human being on the planet more committed to his seriousness than Bob Barr? The 59-year-old Barr is so into the Founding Fathers that most of his phone numbers, including his cellphone, end in “1-7-7-6.” He only reads weighty books, his wife says, like “George Washington on Leadership.” He talks about himself in the third person. In his office, he keeps a photo of himself as a Republican congressman calling for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Even Bob Barr’s mustache is serious.

Ed Morrissey wishes Barr were treated better.
