Crybabies want Georgia AG impeached over health care

Now that the NFL is adopting new overtime rules, I guess the Republicans are following suit. Under the GOP's new overtime rules, if their candidate doesn't win, they kick and scream until there's a do-over.

After the health care bill was signed into law, Republican attorney generals of a whole gaggle of states are suing to have it ruled unconstitutional - even though it contains the insurer bailout they supported. In Georgia, however, Attorney General Thurbert Baker - a Democrat - refuses to join this suit.

Republicans think this gives them an opening to nullify Baker's election to this post - and sabotage his gubernatorial campaign. So now they're planning to impeach Baker for not joining the lawsuit against health care. (The sore loser symbol for this entry refers to the Republicans, not Baker.)

The GOP has collected at least 30 signatures of Republican lawmakers who want Baker impeached for not following the national Republican Party's order to sue over the health care law. Furthermore, right-wing Gov. Sonny Purdue says he's appointing a "special Attorney General" to join the suit because Baker won't do it.

I think Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said it best when he refused to join the suit: "I am not going to waste taxpayer dollars on a political stunt."
