Careful of parallels

The Alaskan Republican party is saying that, after Ted Stevens' conviction was abandoned, Sen. Mark Begich should resign.

If I remember right, Rep. Mark Foley was never officially charged, so do the Alaska Republicans think the homosexual page sexting Congressman should be reinstated, too?

(Maybe it's the "dearth of ideas" or adjustment to the minority that is leaving Republicans with these ridiculous arguments? )
