Yes, Just Do It ... Investigate Mike Easley

For a cascading series of recent stories that former Governor No-Show exercised an arrogant disregard for political ethics and was as prone to cronyism as Boss Hogg, Phil Berger, the Republican leader in the N.C. Senate is calling for a special prosecutor.

Unfortunate that it took a Republican leader, rather than a Democratic one, to drop that boot.

The full panoply of N&O investigations of the former governor can be accessed here.
