Mary Ann Akers has a great exchange with Senator Bernie Sanders about his new environment:

Sleuth: How does it feel being in the Senate where there's forced, almost insistent, collegiality after coming from Tom DeLay's House?

Sanders: That is certainly one of the differences. Everybody is very, very nice to everybody. Isn't that something? Everybody loves everybody over here. Everybody is a good friend and honorable gentleperson and all of that stuff.

I'll tell you a story...I was walking down the hall and I saw somebody whose face I recognized as a senior senator, somebody who had been here many years, but his name didn't come to my mind. And I said, 'Hello, senator, how are you?' And he said, 'Hi, how are you?'

And I got a note from this senator, Republican senator, apologizing for not having known my name and being friendlier...That just struck me as, strange.

Sleuth: And who was the senator?

Sanders: Can't tell you that. That's the point about the collegiality. If I embarrass this guy -- that's the whole point! I can't tell you anything!

Sleuth: In the House you would have dropped a dime on him.

Sanders: In the House I would have held four press conferences attacking him!
