I'm a Roosevelt fan, which may seem obvious by my signature. A fan of both of them. One of the things Theodore Roosevelt was a big proponent of was clearing out corruption in politics. That was what the progressive movement was really about at the time. When I look at the current situation and hear folks like Rich Lowry talk about what is going on, agreeing that everything the Democrats say happened but saying it isn't impeachable, makes me think about that movement and how more than a century after those efforts we still have the fight those same battles.
