Well, first they announce that the Duke-Stir was wearing a wire, and then this...
Embattled Rep. Tom DeLay decided Saturday to give up his post as House majority leader, clearing the way for new leadership elections among House Republicans eager to shed the taint of scandal, two officials said. These officials said DeLay, R-Texas, was preparing a letter informing fellow House Republicans of his decision.
You have to wonder what the connection there is. Is Dick DeGuerin, Delay's attorney out there shopping plea bargain deals in advance of impending indictments? The only person closer to being actually in bed with Abramoff in DC besides his wife was Delay (not that he'd ever snuggle up to Abramoff in that way or anything).
So, I'll just be heading over to Costco to get another pallet of microwave popcorn...let the games continue!
In a letter to rank-and-file Republicans, DeLay said, "I have always acted in an ethical manner."
At the same time, "I cannot allow our adversaries to divide and distract our attention," the Texas Republican wrote.
Folks who act in an ethical manner generally don't invite the attention of prosecutors. Gee, Tom what a shame...NOT!
Let's see how fast the crumbling begins. Fat Denny Hastert has been Delay's bitch for so long, it'll be amazing to see him survive this. The House is falling, this ought to be interesting. And it only took them 10 years...
