Stepping down the right move

I think it's noteworthy that Rep. Mollohan stepped down in the first place.  All too often we see lawmakers refusing to relinquish their leadership positions (cough*DeLay*cough), even while they're being investigated for corruption.  It's not much of an honor, but Mollohan is at least doing the right thing in that respect.
