Ok …I’m going to go semi conspiratorial for a moment. Ready? Here goes: I need someone to explain why the recently defeated Senator from RI (Lincoln Chaffee) has hit the liberal talk show circuit at full speed. You can take a look or listen to his outing to see for yourself. Ousted by Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse and generally considered to have been the most liberal Senate Republican – Chaffee was the only Senate Republican who voted against the Iraq war. And during his lame duck term Chaffee notably and might I add nobly split with his GOP cohorts again when he opposed John Bolton nomination as Ambassador to the United Nations, because and I’ll quote:
"The American people have spoken out against the president's agenda on a number of fronts, and presumably one of those is on foreign policy,"
"And at this late stage in my term, I'm not going to endorse something the American people have spoke out against."
So here’s the kinda-conspiracy part …If we take him at his word that he won’t turn Democrat (and no man honorable enough to do the above should be distrusted) why is he chatting with John Stewart (with nary a book in hand) could it be that he’s thinking of becoming the republican party’s Dennis Kucinich and running for the nomination as a way of redeeming his party and perhaps even his good name – sounds like a blurb/ad for a “West Wing” spin-off, doesn’t it?
