Impeachment is retreating in our rearview mirror but before it disappears let’s take a minute to remember how one of the very few Republicans in the House with real political courage was betrayed not once, not twice, but three times by her colleagues as it played out.

Ask yourself, are we a Jeffersonian or a Springsteenian democracy? I can forgive Bruce for recycling footage and clothes from his Western Stars movie in that Super Bowl commercial (pulled by Jeep in the wake of a DUI). I’ll give him a pass for the faux accent which no one in New Jersey, or maybe
