Being an egocentric fool does not make one culpable.
It does when you work hand in hand with the one providing the guidance and you travel on his behalf in an official capacity under the guise of a senate foreign relations committee member using government transportation and funds.
The culpability is there, but the underlying intent differs.
I get your point about keeping the focus on Obama and Hillary. They need to be tried and convicted in a court of law. Hence, the angst over Ghomert's statement as a distraction against that effort, however true. McCain and Graham need to be tried and convicted as leftist collaborators at the ballot box, but I'm not holding my breath for either the legal or the political convictions to occur. Afterall, this is the republican party we're talking about.
