Bearcat, you owe the thread and me an apology for lying: Political Fallout From Jeffords Decision Thursday, May 24, 2001 (* not 2000, you liar) This partial transcript of Special Report with Brit Hume, May 23, 2001, was provided by the Federal Document Clearing House. Click here to order the complete transcript. BRIT HUME, HOST: So what would cause a veteran Republican senator, chairman of a committee with jurisdiction over one of his pet issues, education, to switch parties and leave his old party in the minority? Is it real or imagined slights by his colleagues and the White House, or is it his own beliefs and the changed political character of the state he represents? For a look at Vermont's Jim Jeffords and his momentous decision, I'm joined by Michael Barone, senior writer at U.S. News & World Report, and of course, the co-author of the Almanac of American Politics. So Michael, what -- what tells us most about what Jeffords has done, the Republicans in the Senate or the state of Vermont or both, perhaps?
