I'd say the story shows more character than anything.

Meaning "This politician sometimes knows how to realize when they're obsessed with something and will take steps to make sure they back off of it".

I like when politicians have functioning frontal lobes and can self-moderate. Usually it makes them far less extremist, or likely to be extreme in their viewpoints.
