Paul O'Neill Unplugged

Andres Martinez has an excellent piece in today's The New York Times related to Paul O'Neill and this administration.

While you're checking the OpEd page, read the recommendation for Connecticut John Rowland (R) to resign. He needs to go. A noble man - a term the WH likes to toss around a lot lately - would have left long before this; Mr. Rowland may be concerned there's a pocket he has not picked yet. But you have to give the GOP in Connecticut credit for seeing this mess for what it is and going ahead with impeachment discussions since Mr. Rowland won't step aside himself. At this point, he deserves to be removed with all the embarrassment that involves rather than save face through resignation.
