The Hammer needs a crowbar

Tom Delay quit because he knows he can't get re-elected. Of course, that won't be the reason he'll give for quitting. Whenever a politician gets caught doing nasty things, shape our opinions of them. Instead of acknowlegeing that he may have done something wrong, he takes a swipe at them there Librul Democrats who are trying to take advantage of his predicament. Maybe the Librul Democrats put those illegal campaign contributions in his hands too? Delay is innocent until proven guilty, but there are a lot of guilty people around him getting ready to talk to save their own skins. Delay will be praised for putting his party ahead of his personal gain, but he was becoming a huge liability to the Republicans and if it wasn't obvious to him, his party probably made him realize that he couldn't win. Tom Delay will do well. He'll end up writing books, giving speeches on the importance of Jay-sus in government. He'll probably be a TV analyst for Fox. He went from being an exterminator in Sugarland Texas to the top of the game. He used the system to his advantage. And about the Texas congressional redistricting that he engineered? John Lennon was right.
