In the discussion thread: Report: Lautenberg Aide Slams Booker For Being ‘Self-Absorbed And Disrespectful’ [View all]

22. I'm starting to see this about Cory Booker, too. First, his defense of Bain Capital really irked me.

Second, his disregard for his elder statesman leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Someone on Facebook commented that he seems to be preparing himself for national media attention after I posted the "Booker used to hate gays" story. He is coming across as calculating and self-serving.
