Republicans screech: "Impeach Him" - sound familiar?

While I'm appalled at the monumental stupidity displayed by NY Governor Elliott Spitzer, I'm even MORE dismayed that the screeching that was heard first (and loudest) has (of course) come from Republicans, who are "shocked...shocked" to find shenanigans going on in the governor's office (apologies to Casablanca's writers Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein)

Why do Republicans shout the loudest when Democrats make boo-boos? Repeated cries of "it's not political" merely serve to confirm that it is, in fact, political, and patently so.

Let the Governor figure out how to gracefully solve this stinkbomb of a mess (which his overactive libido has apparently created) and exit the scene. He owes the citizens of New York state at least that much, and I'm sure he's incentivized to do just that. Having to endure yelping voices screaming "off with his head" does no one any good, and only serves to remind us who plays politics louder than anyone else.

But that's just my take on it...
