California Attorney General Should Resign Over Prison Rape Statement

In early June California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said of Enron Corp. Kenneth Lay,

I would love to personally escort Lay to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says, ‘Hi my name is Spike, honey.’

The sad thing is that our culture has been so debased that an attorney general joking about subjecting someone to prison rape likely will be quickly forgotten. Lockyer should have resigned or been forced from office over such a cavalier statement about rape (which is a serious problem for prisoners of both sexes).
