For a non-fiction character, Russ, you are also cool

In the interest of fairness to real-life politicians, I add my salute to Senator Russ Feingold, D-WI, for trying to censure GW yesterday for his No Wiretap Left Behind program, and saying: "This is certainly more serious than anything President Clinton was accused of doing." Understatement of the decade. And also: "It is reminiscent of what President Nixon was not only accused of doing, but was basically removed from office for doing." (I stole these quotes from the New York Times) And this is only one of the few things we know about!!

My question is: why must the rest of the Democrats treat Russ like a leper? What do they have against taking a stand?

It's not that Feingold is a leper, but there is a lingering hangover from the Clinton impeachment episode, when no one came out looking all that good.

No, I think that SJB is right and that they *do* treat him and anyone else that takes a stand not sanctioned by the DNC as a leper.

sigh...

Fine. But maybe he really is a leper. You'll notice he refuses to show us his limbs in that photo.
