From the Department of “Who Gives a Rat’s Butt” comes today’s report that former “Republican” Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island announced over the weekend that he has left the GOP.
Chafee wasn’t just a liberal Republican; he was a RINO (Republican In Name Only). Not only did he consistently vote wrong…meaning he voted like/with the Democrats…but regularly and publicly poked the party in the eye in the process. Like how he announced that he didn’t vote for President Bush in 2004. He could have just voted for someone else and kept his mouth shut about it, but Chafee reveled in giving aid and comfort to the party’s opponents.
That Chafee has left the party now that Republican voters helped kick him out of Congress isn’t exactly earth-shattering news. After all, who cares now that he’s not a senator any longer? But to the extent that the former King of RINOs has finally been culled from the herd is certainly cause for conservative celebration.
Adios, Linc. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Oh Lincoln, I’m going to miss you so. Just like an ingrown toenail.
Left the party? I never thought he was IN it!
Never was big on Lincolns; prefer Caddies myself.
As for RINOs; I’d rather be a WINO.
I hope the Dems sign him up quick before he changes his mind.
Reminds me of my proctology exam last week. The Doc said, “the itching and burning should be gone for good now”. Lincoln was like the flea or tick on the dog. When we got Front Line, it killed the parasite, but It wasn’t until we got K-9 Advantix that we had a tool that not only killed the parasite but actually repelled it and kept it away from the hosts. Good bye Linc. If your Father were alive he would have used his boot on your behind behind the family woodshed. Your Mother likely hated you from the minute she gave birth to you as evidenced by your first name. May your wonderful parents rest in peace knowing that you have been disabled like a temperamental old car with no utility except for recycling for a very fractional value of the total makeup of your parts, that wasn’t worth much to begin with. Perhaps as you drive down life’s highway of new endeavors, Hillary Clinton may have some throw away job for you. I don’t think even “Dirty” Harry Reid would consider or have any sympathy for you.
Hear hear! Maybe my “GOP” Senator, Gordon Smith, will be next to go.
Hey shithead–you left the GOP too, remember?
Lincoln’s old man was a money throwin around guy too! No saint.
