I detest Arlen Specter. But I don't fault Bush, Rove, or any Pennsylvania primary voter who decided that the greater evil would have been chancing the return of the entire Senate to the Democrats. In politics especially, we all make tough choices at critical junctures, between two bad options.

All good points you make, but what's the excuse for knuckling under and giving him the Judiciary chairmainship, which is only one of the most important posts in Congress? Because of "tradition"? That's the kind of stupidity that makes a lot of people disgusted with politics.

There isn't one. That, indeed, is where my case for Specter stops.
