    When asked about possible questions on Bedford’s biography after Wednesday’s hearing, Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) told a reporter he’d “heard about that” and that his team “did flag that.”

    “We are doing just sort of an extensive look, not just at his policies, but just sort of his background as well,” he said.

    Wow. What confident phrasing. Thanks so much for that hardline effort, you spineless muppet.

      I’m not really sure what the point would be. You get limited time to question a candidate. Saying “did you know whoever wrote your bio on your company’s website listed the wrong flight license for you?” is not an effective line of questioning. Instead, they asked about flight safety, among other more important topics.

        I have to agree. Especially if someone else wrote it and assumed that he had a commercial rating if he already had both instrument and multi. It’s still wrong and he should have either not lied or read the bio someone else wrote and corrected it.
