116. It's very, very difficult for one man to stand against the GOP smear machine
Especially when the members of his own party are strong-arming him to submit. It's not easy to imagine the pressure that was brought to bear. It does not reflect badly on him that he chose to end the carnival. I wonder how long you or I would hold up under that kind of treatment.

He spoke truth to power. We all know he was right, and it needed saying. I admire him for speaking out. And I'm ashamed of the ones who REALLY lack spine here: Pelosi and that rat Steny Hoyer.
