On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 1.

National Review's Matthew Shaeffer's blog post on the Rep. Keith Ellison’s testimony crocodile tears during Peter King's hearing on Islamist radicalization. [He didn't say crocodile tears but that was my impression.]
Audio of Ellison at the site.

MY VIEW:    To be honest, watching the hearings on CSPAN my very first thought was that Ellison was not there to educate the CSPAN audience of the facts so much as convince Muslims of his sincerity. It was more of an audition. It didn't work out very well because he got his facts screwed up. But beyond that, his performance was simply not very believable. It was like watching Rodney ("Can't we all get along?) King. The shifty eyes and refusal to make eye contact and the painfully obvious, desperate effort to look both humble and serious. There was a touch of Louis Farrakhan, too, minus the batting eyelashes and hand splayed across his chest. And the mute thug guards surrounding him. But that would have been too revealing.

I guess even the people who pay the shot expect some performance on cue. They'll be grading him. We'll know how he did in a week or two if he starts sporting bowties.
