Congressman may face recall

U.S. Rep. Joseph Cao is a Republican newly elected from New Orleans - but with only a plurality. (Hey, isn't 50% of the vote supposed to be required in Louisiana? Or is this rule ignored for Republicans?)

Already, Cao is one of the most unpopular members of Congress. Disdain for Cao was heightened when he voted against the stimulus law - despite constituents' support for the stimulus.

Amidst that vote, a recall effort has been launched against Cao. Supporters of the recall say Cao has "irreparably harmed" efforts by New Orleans to win federal aid.

To put it in franker terms, Cao - like the rest of the House's GOP caucus - is an obstructionist.

Conservatives are questioning whether Louisiana even allows elected officials to be recalled. However, they never questioned it when Republicans tried to recall Democratic officeholders in that state.

We in northern Kentucky need to launch a recall effort against the fartpipe Geoff Davis. Few other congressmorons deserve to lose their seat more.
