Democrats Will Impeach One of Their Own As Long As There's Sex Involved

Ohio's attorney general faces impeachment

Risking impeachment, Ohio's attorney general Monday refused demands from the governor and other fellow Democrats that he resign over a sexual-harassment scandal in his office and an affair with a subordinate.

Gov. Ted Strickland said Democrats will begin drafting an impeachment resolution against Attorney General Marc Dann right away. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted said Monday his chamber — which takes the first step in any impeachment — was already reviewing the process.

A sexual-harassment investigation uncovered an atmosphere in Dann's office rife with inappropriate staff-subordinate relationships, heavy drinking, and harassing and threatening behavior by a supervisor. On Friday, Dann admitted to an extramarital affair.

2. Guess it is true. Got the whiff of sex? Impeachment is being served.

Not that sexual-harassment isn't serious. Not saying that at all. Sexual-harassment and the hostile work environment that it creates is very serious.


Well, unless the whiff of sex comes from torture....then it's A-OK!

3. An impeachable offense is an impeachable offense and political affiliation should not matter
With emphasis on 'should not matter'.

4. The point is, wasn't there enough info to warrant impeaching
the real criminals, for inciting wars, treason, torture, any number of things? THIS is what's important?

5. Come back when
you figure out a way that a State Democratic party can go about impeaching a President then maybe there will be something to this. Until then BFD, I'm glad they're impeaching the dirtbag.

6. Your snide remark does not excuse Congress from ignoring
the real life and death issues, which is what they're doing and have done.
