DeLay says he'll resign

[low_delta]

U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, the once-powerful Texas Republican, plans to resign from Congress and will drop his re-election bid, citing a desire to keep his House seat in Republican hands. "I refuse to allow liberal Democrats an opportunity to steal this seat with a negative personal campaign," DeLay said in a video announcement released today.

Notice how he blames the necessity of his resignation on the opposition. Smooth. No mention of his indictment.

Who is smoother than Tom DeLay?

I'm certain he'll somehow make a mint from this... even though that goes against that law that states that a criminal cannot reap earnings from their crimes!

Right .. it's all about the bad Democrats STEALING stuff. Not that there's anything to wage a negative campaign about, or anything like that ...
