I saw hints of next week but nothing for today.

Senator Amy Klobuchar was hungry, forkless and losing patience.

An aide, joining her on a trip to South Carolina in 2008, had procured a salad for his boss while hauling their bags through an airport terminal. But once onboard, he delivered the grim news: He had fumbled the plastic eating utensils before reaching the gate, and the crew did not have any forks on such a short flight.

What happened next was typical: Ms. Klobuchar berated her aide instantly for the slip-up. What happened after that was not: She pulled a comb from her bag and began eating the salad with it, according to four people familiar with the episode.

Then she handed the comb to her staff member with a directive: Clean it.

That is, of course, not to condone the reported behavior but it is going to have to get a lot worse than that before it becomes a serious problem. As I said before, I would bet money that there are similar stories for every candidate out there. You telling me Booker didn't snap at somebody along the line? Does Elizabeth Warren strike anyone as being completely level-headed at all times?

Using a comb to eat salad? Shows me she is determined and a problem-solver.
