Rhode Island is my second home, and since I was born and raised there, I follow the politics and happenings in the state. The name, Chafee, is a revered one there, as the Senator’s father served honorably and well in the military during World War II and as governor and senator from that state.

“Lincoln Chafee's family tree includes Sen. Henry Lippitt, who served from 1911 to 1917, and Harvard University's notable legal scholar, the late Zechariah Chaffee. (The family uses several spellings of the Chafee name). His father, John, served three terms as Rhode Island governor and more than 20 years in the U.S. Senate.

Today, Senator Lincoln Chafee showed his colors by announcing that he would block the confirmation of the wonderful man we have in the UN, John Bolton, and that furthermore, he would no longer be a Republican.

Good riddance.
