Chafee's saved the Reps from making rash, idiotic decisions so many times.

I don't know what they'll do without him.

Presumably make more rash idiotic decisions.

I just saw Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press, and I was shocked. They had just interviewed John McCain, who of course is a Republican, who (finally) came out and said, quite simply, it's time to either dramatically increase troop strength in Iraq in order to establish security, or pull out entirely.

Then Joseph goes on and opposes that, basically saying stay the course. We can't pull out, it'd be disaster, yadda yadda yadda.

The man's more Republican than Republicans!

I finally understand the hostility dems feel toward him.

The other aspect of it is probably an element of envy, in that for some reason Liberman is the one always asked to go on shows like MTP opposite of the republican person.  It might not be envy, just annoyance, but if you end up as the designated spokesman for your party on various issues, it would be nice to pay attention to the party consensus.

I think what old Nancy means with the "no-impeachment" declaration is that she would rather keep that particular pair of pliers gently pressed around George's balls.

She'll get more out of him that way and it will force him to deal with Iraq himself (I think that bit is already starting to work). Also, who the hell wants a President Cheney?

well, honestly, you can't do one without the other.

it would be interesting to see what kind of melt down the veep would have if put into that position.
