Another Republican bites the dust

DeLay Announces Resignation From House
Maybe DeLay put on his glasses and read the writing on the wall a little closer. He's got enough trouble just trying to keep himself out of jail, much less retaining his seat in Congress.

DeLay thinks his exit will cause the donations to his Democratic opponent Nick Lampson flowing in from all over the country to dry up. Ha! I'm sure my inbox will be filling up with solicitations from all the various groups I support. DeLay thinks this is all about him. It's not. It's about removing all the Republicans from the positions of power that enabled them to misuse the public trust. If anything his resignation will make this easier, not harder.

I wonder who the Republicans will choose to replace him on the Appropriations Committee, which they rewarded him with when he had to step down as House Majority Leader. Maybe this time they can find someone who's not under indictment.
