A coworker of mine said it best: "Inappropriate conduct is inappropriate conduct. It doesn't matter which party." Personally, I think the whole lot ought to be fired and we start all over. I like Arthur C. Clarke's method of electing folks for public office in the book Imperial Earth . Every citizen who is of age gets their name put into a hat. The "Winner" serves out his/her term, hoping to do a good enough job so as to get time off for good behavior!
