My former Congressman Tom Davis is a decent person — thoughtful, moderate, and generous. Now, the New York Times reports, he is giving up his seat in Congress, a casualty of the reckless and foolish policies of the Bush administration and increasing domination of his party by hard-core right-wingers. I am torn between personal sympathy for Davis the man and fury over the evil policies of the party he worked tirelessly to promote. Sadly, probably the most good Davis can do now is to give Virginia an opportunity to send one more Democrat to Congress.
