Rep. Bill Janklow

I haven't been following this story very well, but Ms. Michelle Malkin wrote very powerfully on it today.

"Politics be damned. Janklow is a repugnant lawbreaker addicted to speed and power. His callous disregard for the rules cost an innocent man his life. The Republican Party should turn its back on Janklow and bear the electoral consequences.

Last year's Trent Lott episode showed that the GOP can hold its leaders to higher standards. Party officials once again have an opportunity to show that personal accountability is more than a catch phrase.
"

Strong words, indeed. But she's right, Janklow's callous disregard for the law and for the dangers of speeding are a disgrace.
