There are damned few heroes, and no, Cory Booker isn't one of them.

I liked him before he came to Congress, but in office he's been a blah, one of many worthless Dems, and dead wrong on numerous issues — including Gaza.

I'll give him kudos for the longwinded speech, without even any snark, but it only added up to a day's delay. To actually be effective, he should've yielded the floor to another Democrat who'd filibuster, and then another. Where are the rest of the Dems? For that matter, where was Booker until Monday night?
