Comtempt of Congress: The Republicans Who Voted Yes

On the straightforward question of whether Harriet Myers and Josh Bolten are in contempt of Congress (the correct answer is yes), only three Republicans voted in favor of contempt of Congress. The three Republicans were Wayne Gilchrist, Walter Jones, and Ron Paul. These are also the three antiwar Republicans in the House of Representatives.

This is very odd. Apparently fighting the war in Iraq requires corrupt US Attorneys. And despite losing the majority in 2006, having a president who has a 24% approval rating, a Republican nominee-apparent who appears to be badly trailing his most likely opponent in the polls, and signs that the next elections will be as disastrous for Republicans in Congress as the last one, every single Republican except these three continues to march in lockstep off Bush's cliff. It makes you wonder if they're afraid of being anthraxed.
