Both John Stewart and Al Franken showed how Fox News talking heads were spouting the phrase "the criminalization of politics" last week. It was suitably comical to see clips of all the pundits and flaks mouthing what was obviously the Republican party line with Delay indicted and White House staffers up to and including Cheney under investigation. Surely this is, they suggest, the Democrats engaging in the "criminalization of politics"?

Let me provide the answer that should be forthcoming from all concerned, outraged Americans, regardless of party affiliation:

What begats the criminalization of politics, is when politicians commit crimes. Period. End of discuission.

And of course, when criminal behavior is against the law, only criminals will commit crimes. Have the Republican spinmeisters even throught of that?
