There's a reason the Nation, America's leading progressive magazine, named Robert Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman." It's the same reason right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh refers to him as "disgusting." It's because for the last twelve years Wexler has been Congress's most out-spoken liberal-taking on George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzalez, General David Petraeus, and, when necessary, even his own party.
