Et tu, Shays?
AP tops a story about GOP bloodletting with a quote from Rep. Chris Shays, GOP moderate from Connecticut who co-sponsored Shays-Meehan, the House version of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law. Shays is currently fighting to save his seat. Here's what he told the Yale Daily News about McCain:
"He has lost his brand as a maverick," Rep. Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican and co-chairman of the McCain campaign in that state, told the Yale Daily News in the latest criticism. "He did not live up to his pledge to fight a clean campaign."

Yes, he's jumping on the trash McCain bandwagon, but if he really wanted to get on the good side of Connecticut voters he would have trashed Lieberman too.

This is almost as beautiful as a rainbow!!! The shivs come out and it's one Republican against another Republican. As Warren Zevon said at the end of his Werewolves of London classic
"Let's Draw Blood!"

I'm teling you those Connecticut voters are so angry with Lieberman they are downright rabid and just want to eat a Republican for breakfast even a mild flavored one like Shays.

Well, duh. There is no GOP in the Northeast anymore. Bush-Rove-McC@in-Schmidt-P@lin have m*rdered it. Shays, Snowe, and Collins are anachronisms.

Somebody should introduce Shays to Michael Scherer. Dee in Columbia, the same thing happened to Lincoln Chaffee, which I'm sure is heavy on Shays' mind.

Christopher Shays doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Lincoln Chaffee, who aside from a bizarre sentimental attachment to a Republican Party that died about the time he was born, is a good, thoughtful and smart man. Shays is Lieberman without the megalomania, and if part of the reason he goes down is because his constituents (belatedly) figured out that the little rat is no more to be trusted than the big weasel, so be it. Pity Mainers can't get the same thing through their heads about that odious self-serving hypocrite Susan Collins.
Though it is fun to watch the rat try to swim.
