The worst of it, so far as I'm concerned, is that so many Republicans couldn't wait not just to go public but to desert the sinking ship. The Senate has been preening itself on the superiority of its deliberations during the trial to the allegedly ugly partisanship of the House debate on impeachment. But I think Henry Hyde and many of his colleagues look by comparison like "moral giants"--and here I'm using your sarcastic term with no trace of irony.
