aide". Please, help me to understand this ridiculous notion. Everyone should write a LTE to local papers and/or the Sun. He is trying to make political hay out of getting caught being underhanded and crooked? It would be funny if it were not so sad:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/politics/bal-md.ehrlich25mar25,1,7256347.story?coll=bal-mdpolitics-headlines"Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. said yesterday he wants to determine whether Democratic rivals were behind exposing a former administration aide who participated in Internet rumor-mongering about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley that the governor says he knew nothing about.
"We will be very helpful. We really want to know," Ehrlich said. "The people have a right to know, and we want to know as much as you want to know about political orchestration in this entire process by anybody connected with the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates."
"House Speaker Michael E. Busch said Ehrlich's effort to switch attention from Steffen to the source of the reports of his activities looks desperate. "It's like getting caught speeding and telling the officer, 'The three guys in front of me were going faster. Why didn't you catch them?'" Busch said."

Mr. Busch has a point, except it is not like saying the 3 guys in front were going faster, it is more like saying to the cop: "Why did you catch me speeding, Is this a personal vendetta against me?"
