Dennis: Pile On Senate Leadership

I’ve blogged since last summer that John McGee must resign. Today he did so. I’ve received phone messages from certain Idaho GOP State Senate Leaders who have “politely” called me and left voicemails asking me to “call them”. Really? Summoned by these guys who never had the courage to demand John’s resignation? Now, watch what happens. It’ll be anti-piling on, in a sense… GOP Senate Leadership (as it is now constructed — other than with Senator Chuck Winder, who is a good man) will today open their ranks and spit out Mr. McGee from its caucus. I refuse to pile on John McGee. His is a journey that now takes him to this distant part of a political desert. I hope he receives help in all areas of his life. The Senate Leadership? Pile on, baby, pile on/ Dennis Mansfield . More here.

Question: Is Dennis right? Is it time to pile on Senate leadership for not having guts to handle John McGee’s bizarre behavior back when?
