Should Sen. Kirk step aside?

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill), whom I admire, had a stroke in 2012 and has said some... well... unfortunate things of late. For example, he addressed presidential candidate Lindsey Graham's singleness by saying, "He's a bro with no ho."

Some think he needs to be replaced. Perhaps.

But Ron Paul, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and others have been saying odd things for a long time. I hope that Sen. Kirk. learns to discipline his tongue- and sticks around.

We need sane people- and especially sane Republicans- in the Senate. And for the most part, Mark Kirk has shown better sense than a great many of his colleagues.
