Former Senator Chafee calls Palin a "cocky whacko"

http://www.wpri.com/Global/story.asp?S=8991694&nav=F2DO

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Former U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee is weighing in on Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and his comments are less than kind.

During an interview with Steven Clemons from the New America Foundation, Chafee called the Governor of Alaska a "cocky whacko." He also said her "agressive, belligerent" approach is wrong for foreign policy.

During his comments, Chafee said Sen. John McCain's selection of Palin may have energized the wrong base. He said shortly after the pick was announced, he received calls and emails from people who told him they were donating to the Obama campaign.

Chafee was appointed to the United States Senate in 1999 upon the death of his father, Senator John Chafee, and in 2000 was elected to a full six-year term.

2. I'd always wished he'd been one of ours...
he voted like a "D" most of the time -- he wasn't cut out to be a GOPer. :(

3. That's the way to tell the truth!
Too bad Democrats can't be so honest.
