Lame ducks not so lame

Looks like the Senate won't be passing Bush's agenda, which includes domestic wiretapping and the confirmation of John Bolton, without a fight:

Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who was defeated in this week's election, said he would block Bolton's nomination.

Chafee, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters that he did not believe Bolton's nomination would move forward without his support.

"The American people have spoken out against the president's agenda on a number of fronts, and presumably one of those is on foreign policy," the Rhode Island moderate told The Associated Press.

"And at this late stage in my term, I'm not going to endorse something the American people have spoke out against."

It's a shame the R next to Chafee's name got him defeated; he sounds like an OK guy after all. With this, maybe he has a political future once he switches parties.
