Bye-bye, Tom. We won't miss you at all.

Tom DeLay has officially resigned from the House of Representatives. I feel a giggle coming on.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060404/ap_on_go_co/delay;_ylt=AuxNaCw0lFc5RKvN9WakZEeGbToC;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

"He has served our nation with integrity and honor," said Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, who succeeded DeLay in his leadership post earlier this year.

Excuse me? Integrity? Honor? Where has this guy been?

DeLay blamed "liberal Democrats" for making his re-election campaign largely a negative one that threatened the Republican hold on the seat.

Of course, blame those evil, nasty Democrats. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that you're a lying snake who thinks he's above the law? Nah.

He portrayed his decision to resign as a fatal blow for the fortunes of his opponent, Democrat Nick Lampson, who has garnered national attention — and financial support.

"It will no longer be a national race like it was ... His money will dry up," DeLay said. "This is probably the worst day of his campaign because he knows that any Republican who replaces me on the ballot will win this seat."

Sorry, Tommy. I don't think Mr. Lampson is worried. The worst day of his campaign? Try the best! He will easily win that seat. And he'll do it without dirty politics.

"The Abramoff affair has nothing to do with me," DeLay said on Fox.

Way to go to bat for your own lobbyist there, Tom. Kudos!

What's that I hear? It's a sigh of relief throughout the 22nd Congressional District!!!

One down. But how many more to go?

You're so clever. :) And I'm glad you're interested. Nobody seems to like it when I go political.
