state legislator Virgil Peck (R, of course) resign after suggesting that the illegal immigrant problem should be solved by shooting immigrants from helicopters. He spit out a sort of apology a couple of days after making the remark, though the day after makin it, he was defiant.

The Republican leaders in the legislature have said they have accepted his apology and don't think anything else needs to be done, but since they were not the ones who were offended by his remark, I don't see why they should think it is their place to accept his apology and to decide that it solves the problem his comment created!
