He is simply a political opportunist plain and simple. He did what was best for Jim Jeffords and to hell with his friends, his party and his country. And yet because he compares himself to Jesus, he must actually think he is the only one in the Senate without sin. Read the interview again. He was DEAD SERIOUS about the comparison.
If he is without sin, he would be the only member in the Senate in that category. His response struck me as blasphemous for a US Senator.
