Redoux - Sen. Chaffe, Hypocrite of the Week on Buzzflash, Lest We Forget

This is from Feb. I wasn't blogging then or I wouldn't have missed this one! Let's see. He's currently supported by 1 of our State Reps in this District (Long) and one St. Senator who was also a key member of the Statewide Bush /Cheney Re-election Committee (Gibbs-bet she doesn't like to be reminded of that one). Sorry, not sure who the Reps. from Little C. & Tiv. (Loughlin & Amaral) are supporting. Which reminds me: Is there any district as split up as this one? Four towns/cities, one Senator, & 5 reps (Rice, Jackson, Long, Loughlin, & Amaral)! Gerrymandering at its worse!

"So, on roll calls when his vote is not needed, Chafee gets permission to vote "progressive" in order to save a precarious Rhode Island senate seat for the Republicans. But, since the GOP strategists were worried about the filibuster moentum, they wouldn't let the pawn -- with the misnomer of "Lincoln" -- go that far."
