Like I said, I like Russ.

I'm just not gonna cut him any slack on the Ashcroft vote. You can try and argue the "20/20 hindsight" angle with Ashcroft, but some of us saw this freak coming from a mile away. His reactionary views were not a well-guarded secret.

So my point was, trying to spin Feingold's Ashcroft vote while villifying Kerry's IRW vote smells of a double standard.

Both men had their reasons for voting the way they did; both votes, in my opinion, were wrong.
