Lincoln Chafee: Proof That Not Every Republican Politician Bows To The Bushies On Absolutely Everything

[Ed. note: The Washington Post reports that Chafee may be on the verge of leaving the Republican Party altogether. Considering there are just a tiny number of so-called moderates and they have been extremely poorly served by the GOP, it's almost impossible to believe any of these moderates - of which Chaffee is one and the majority of the rest hail from New England - bother to remain.]

Cookie Jill posting at Skippy International offers proof of a bit of class, regardless of Tuesday's general GOP defeat:

and a good deal of intelligence on the issue of "the war loving walrus" (and thinking about dropping the elephants)

sen. lincoln chafee r-r.i., who was defeated by democrat sheldon whitehouse on tuesday, told reporters in rhode island that he would continue opposing bolton. that would likely deny republicans the votes needed to move bolton's nomination from the senate foreign relations committee to the full senate.

"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," chafee said. "and at this late stage in my term, i'm not going to endorse something the american people have spoke out against." - ap and thewashingtonnote

thank you senator chafee.
