    Once again, it's Russ being Russ.

    Remember the speculation about Feingold's motivation for his last censure resolution? Everyone thought it was an utterly transparent attempt to grab the "radical" left-wing vote for a 2008 presidential run. Now that he's declared that he won't run in 2008, it'll be interesting to see what reasons people dream up for this one.

    Of course, for those of us who have been Feingold fans for years, it couldn't be more simple - he is doing it because he thinks it's the right thing to do.

    I think I'll dig my Feingold 2004 t-shirt out of the closet to salute him today. It's dark blue, with "Feingold 2004" on the chest and, running up the back of the shirt, a picture of a spine.
