Larry O'Neal.

 

While both Republicans and Democrats are demanding new ethics legislation (after all, corruption is a bipartisan game), Erick Erickson says that instead the Republican Party should purge its corrupt leaders (and in the process lets the whole state in on some of the juicy rumors about some of our elected officials).
