Senator Hatch is involved in a scandal. He's in no danger in Utah, but this could stir up a feeding frenzy inside the beltway. There are a lot of reporters and editors who would love to nail him.

I have never thought he was too bright, but he's better than the liberal Democrat who preceded him. Nevertheless, he's been there too long. Maybe there's nothing in this story, but I almost hope there is enough to persuade him to retire.
