CNN is reporting that Tom DeLay will not seek to retain his Majority leadership position in the House of Representatives. Seems those not caught in the trap are looking for new leadership, saying that the "Culture of Corruption" meme was starting to have effect. Geez, that didn't take too long.
The closer we get to a trial of Abramoff and co, the faster things happen. Beginning with Scanlon turning on Abramoff, now Abramoff turning on the memebers of Congress, and perhaps higher, we are seeing money being shipped out (Bush the other day) to charities, etc to try and distance themselves.
Maybe it's just me, but there is a beauty to symmetry. For the last few years, the Republicans have held power in all three branches of government. As has often been said about total power and corruption, it makes a hell'uva mess. And, here we have the first branch beginning to break. Perhaps this will once again bring some sanity to the governance of this country.
