    Nonsense

    A Republican is a Republican is a Republican. Chafee helps enables the GOP to keep a majority ... that's all that matters. These Republican "moderates" (Chafee, Snowe, Collins et al.) wring their hands and express deep "concern" about this issue or that, and when push comes to shove -- after Rove leaves the horse head in their beds -- they vote the party line. Linc voted to end debate on Alito, voted for Wehrum, and voted for Frist as majority leader. Who gives a shit that he drives a Prius?
