James Jeffords surely must be the loneliest senator on Capitol Hill. Just six months after the Republican leadership pulled out all the stops to get the Vermonter re-elected in 2000 — including all but sacrificing the political career of his colleague, Minnesota's Rod Grams — Mr. Jeffords bolted the GOP, claiming he no longer felt at home there. It was, as the titles to his two subsequent books made abundantly clear, his "Declaration of Independence."

Democrats dropped him like a bad habit as soon as he wasn't relevant.

The leadership should force Jeffords to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness, just like San Francisco Mayor Moscone did in 1977 to Dan White. Of course, Dan White later shot Moscone. Hmmmmm...now there's a thought!

Does this mean I should discount his statements in his book? Can I get a refund? Does he owe his publisher a new book deal called "Spineless, Profile of a man with no convictions other than to himself"

When leaving the Liberal Party to rejoin the Conservative Party Winston [Churchill] remarked," Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat."
