When Chafee left the Senate, after being the only Republican to vote against the Iraq war (yes, Hillary Clinton, that's what it was), I had a fair amount of respect for him.
Then, in this vomitorious blandness of a column calling for a new centrist party, he lost it.
First, while Rahm Emanuel may be hyperpartistan, he recruited all the Blue Dogs now in the House that have been a pain at times. So, it's not been ideological partisanship, to the degree there has been any partisanship; it's been gamesmanship-based only.
Second, Chafee knows how blatant GOP Senate filibustering is.
