Rain, Rain Go Away… Oh wait, I live in London.

I’ve always had a soft-spot for Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) because he’s one of those rare politicians who tends to stop and think before voting. He doesn’t kowtow to either the Republicans or the Democrats- he does what he thinks will be best for his constituents, even if it goes against the prevailing ideas inside his own party. His decision to prepare legislation allowing Congress to sue President Bush over the use of signing statements is both bold and necessary, proving once again that he makes a great Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

If only PA’s junior senator would behave more like Specter… But that will probably never happen since he’s an unethical, misogynistic, “Moral Majority”-supporting crazy.
