Another, plum, juicy rat

Who has stuck another knife in the back? Why my very own congressman - the so called mavericky Chris Shays. This is definitely a case of a strong desire to not go down with the sinking ship. He says he is disappointed with McCain not staying true to his core beliefs. What core beliefs, other than going to war with just about everyone, including inner cities (he supported a "surge" to deal with inner city crime)? Other than that, McCain is an empty vessel, bereft of any idea other than Republican orthodoxy. It is also quite sweet that Shays is the head of the McCain campaign in CT. But the sanctimonious tone of his backpedaling is although delicious, somewhat nauseating. Who does Shays think he is, Joe Lieberman?
