hear ya, Ike

Yesterday when I was typing on my blog a passage from a Lyndon Johnson biography, my favorite sentence was when Pres. Eisenhower wrote, "in a note to a friend" about a difficult senator:

"It is a pity that his wisdom, his judgment, his tact, and his sense of humor lag so far behind his ambition."

That speaks toward a phenomenon I've occasionally noticed and tried to analyze and understand, but I get lost. Can't find the path-to-logic, or the right words.

But I know what he's talking about.
