The drumbeat started on Tuesday, when RedState editor Erick Erickson issued his papal bull from Macon, Ga. Illinois Representative Aaron Schock had to go.
"He has lived a life as a celebrity in a city that more and more craves celebrity over competence in office," wrote Erickson. "His lack of responsibility with the funds of others shows him to lack the necessary integrity to handle the power of the purse in the House of Representatives, which remains the chief power of the House. He should resign."
