Panel votes 6-1 against Sanford impeachment

By GottaLaff

In RushpbulicLand, you get to cheat on your wife, abandon your state (all why being a hypocrite), and then get rewarded with not-impeachment:

An impeachment resolution against Gov. Mark Sanford has been essentially killed, as a majority of the 7-member committee formed to weigh evidence against the governor voted against it today.

The vote, which came shortly after 3:30 p.m., was 6-1 against the resolution. The full House Judiciary Committee will still take up the resolution.[...]

Sanford was accused of abandoning his duties and using state resources for personal purposes.

If a Democrat had pulled this, he/she would have been kicked out within days, and the news dee jays would have stayed on the story non-stop, pausing only for the latest Tiger Woods cartoons.
