...obsession with ousting the President. Shut it down, said party elders; take Henry Hyde's gavel away and move on. In the House, G.O.P. members began discussing milder presidential punishments as if they were debating different models of a new car. Formulations like "censure," "censure plus," and "censure with teeth" came in and out of fashion. With Gingrich out, Hyde's committee in obvious disarray and Livingston showing no stomach for dealing with the impeachment mess, the troops had no leader to guide them.

We all know who they are: those pesky roommates' boyfriends and girlfriends who show up in their underwear at three in the morning, sleep in our rooms, brush their teeth in our sinks, even shower in our bathrooms (and don't even think they aren't using our shampoo). We at Dartboard urge all upstanding Harvard men and women: Do not tolerate this breach of community! Gong them out the door, back to their real rooms, where they belong...
