People "rolling their eyes" at Daschle's victimhood

DVT notes a fascinating report from Minnesota Public Radio about the MTP debate between Thune and Daschle. MPR reports that the discerning students at USD "rolled their eyes" and laughed when Daschle launched into his victimhood routine:

Daschle responded looking very much the victim.

"John's attacks on me, where I come from, would earn a trip to the woodshed. He knows that's wrong. His effort to demonize me won't work in South Dakota," said Daschle.

The students watching the exchange laughed and rolled their eyes.

Even my apolitical friends said they laughed at Daschle's "Poor Tom" routine. Somehow, I don't think that was the reaction Daschle intended viewers to have.
