Graft for Taft

It has nothing to do with international affairs or foreign policy, but I am disgusted by the ethics scandal surrounding a prominent Republican. No I am not talking about Tom Delay or Jack Abramoff I am talking about Ohio Governor Bob Taft. Taft comes from a line of prominent and honorable line of politicians. His great-grandfather was a so-so President who founded his true calling presiding over the Supreme Court. His grandfather was a senator and perennial presidential candidate who was known as Mr. Republican. True he would have been a disaster as president (he was an unreconstructed isolationist), but he was a good man. Gov. Taft has cashed in on his family's name and insulted the memory of his predecessors he should resign and retire from public life.
