Very surprising news today, as noted creepy filth merchant Tom Delay resigns from Congress. Hooray for.... I don't know, exactly, but hooray for his getting out of public office.
Of course he plans to leave Texas, move to Northern Virginia (I'm really, really sorry, Virginia), and become... well, some sort of behind-the-scenes GOP lever-puller. Surprise, surprise. Essentially, I think he's going to become a lobbyist par excellance, though I suppose we'll have to see exactly what sort of slime he's oozing when he finally crawls up out of the Potomac later this year.
This probably means it will be easier for the GOP to hold DeLay's seat in Texas. DeLay's absence from the campaign trail will also make it harder for the Democrats to point to him as the fount and focus of GOP corruption. Still, it's probably better for all of us that he's at least no longer in direct power. Besides, maybe he's going to end up in jail anyway.

Speaking of getting rid of creeps, I imagine we will be hearing a lot about this later. It is Spring cleaning time after all. Lets take the rug out and beat the dirt out of it.
I think he was exposed to a few many chemicals when he owned a pest control company.
O'B
