Prez shooting from the hip

A baffling, idiotic law rears its ugly head again. Conservative lawmakers in Korea want to file complaints about President Roh for making partisan statements about their GNP party. The law basically says public servants - regardless of whether they were elected or not - can't make partisan statements.
I'm not sure what the genesis of the law is, though I suppose it has something to do with the national desire for the kingly president to remain above the fray, as well as not have too much influence over the electoral process. But it simply isn't realistic. Roh ignores the law.
Conservatives, despite wasting several precious months a couple of years ago in their failed attempts to impeach Roh on the same charges, continue their petty political warfare.
