Down goes DeLay?

I don't think so. Not just yet. MSM cannot wean itself from the teat of access. But the 'Pubs are getting less jiggy about their hypocrisy. Couple of quotes from the Houston Chronicle article Republican calls for DeLay to step down:

I have no comment on anything.

That was Michael Castle, Republican representative from Delaware. Wow, your vote really got you something there with Mr Castle, didn't it? I wonder if Rick "Rick" Santorum, Republican from PA, can help us out with an insight?

Now you may not like some of the things he's done. That's for the people of his district to decide, whether they want to approve that kind of behavior.

Way to take a stand, Rick. I can completely understand old-school conservatism and there is nothing wrong with being a Republican, if you say what you mean and mean what you say and stay the hell away from my Constitution and the Judiciary and come up with the money to pay for your harebrained schemes. Isn't there anyone the GOP with a backbone? Oh yes, there is! From one of those Yankee States, no less. You know -- Yankee State -- one that pays the taxes for the pork barrel gravy train states in the South and the West? CT has their self one Christopher Shays. What's on Mr Shays' mind?

He is an absolute embarrassment to me and to the Republican Party.

THWAP! 99 mph fastball right over the plate and into the catcher's mitt. I absolutely love that sound.
