Stevens’ indictment isn’t exactly good news for the G.O.P., but he’s a corrupt politician first and a Republican second. Patrick Ruffini notes that the right thing to do to safeguard the tarnished Republican brand is to demand he abandon his reelection campaign. Once that’s done, if anyone dares to use Stevens as an example of how the Republicans are uniquely corrupt, you can remind them that Democrats apparently don’t have too much of a problem with the fact that William Jefferson is still in Congress.
