Four officers of the Orange County Republican Committee took the dramatic step Tuesday of calling on their chairman, Robert Krahulik, to step down immediately over the matter.

I live in the county. Sometimes you hear things. This item surfaced because he is a moron and the college should dump him too.

But this really doesn't strike me a 'fire-able' offense.

Particularly if it was an accident, which seems fairly likely.
