Spartacus Has Left the Building

Mitt Romney announced his plans to retire from the Senate, and he’ll take one of the last vestiges of GOP norms with him. To mark the occasion, let’s recall the moment Mitt stood, and stood alone, for what was right during Trump’s first impeachment.

Adam Schiff closed out the House managers’ case against Trump with this: “You can’t trust this president to do the right thing, not for one minute, not for one election, not for the sake of our country. You just can’t.

 He will not change and you know it . . . Is there one among you who will say enough?”

Schiff’s congressional district included West Hollywood, home to some of the most famous entertainers in the world. But there was no question which resident gave the best performance during the weeks that encapsulated the House impeachment and Senate trial. By the time the trial ended, liberal parents were buying their toddlers Superman pajamas telling them the S stood for Schiff.

In the most famous scene of the 1960 blockbuster Spartacus, a group of recaptured slaves led by Kirk Douglas’s character are told they could save their own lives “on the single condition that you identify the body or the living person of the slave called Spartacus.”
