Odd how they can always manage to nail Democrats, isn't it?

But they never seem to quite get the goods on Republicans.

I guess they figure going after Republicans is a waste of time, since the GOP will just have a crony issue a pardon or commute a sentence anytime it's needed. (see: Ford pardoning Nixon, Poppy Bush pardoning all the Iran/Contra guys, Dubya commuting Libby's sentence, etc. etc. etc.)
