First, Hillary Clinton will probably try to sue her way into the democrat nomination (selected, not elected), and now the democrat governor of the nation's third most populated state must resign or face sure impeachment.  This is too priceless. 

What next?  Nancy Pelosi comes out and endorses John McCain?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
