If he and Hastart really wanted to do this nation a service they would give up their (lack of) leadership positions.
Frist is getting ready to give up his Senate Leadership. His term ends in January and he is not running for reelection.
THANK GOD!!!
I'm with you on that one.
Would you instead rather plot and plan to have them impeached?

Who would you replace them with???
I completely agree. I don't think Frist is a bad guy, and I think highly of his charity work, but he's an empty suit with no leadership skills. Nice guys have a place in this world, but it's not clawing for advantage in Congress.
I never cared for Hastert, either, but he completely lost my support me when he stood up for Jefferson during the corruption investigation. His arguement seemed to communicate that he though congressmen shouldn't be subject to FBI investigations, and in so many words, should be above the law. Aside from the appaling nature of that reasoning, on a tactical level we had the Democrats flanked and exposed, and even the media was letting Jefferson have it. Hastert rolled in to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
