Delay resigns...

From Msnbc.com:

Succumbing to scandal, former Majority Leader Tom Delay said Tuesday he is resigning from Congress, a move that closes out a career that blended unflinching conservatism with a bare-knuckled political style.

They forgot to add "a unashamed loyalty to graft, and greed." Delay's resignation is a let-down of sorts. Of course it's great to have him out of office, but in the overall picture the status quo remains the same. It would have been wonderful to have the voters drum him out of office, but somehow I doubt that they would have. Now he becomes a martyr for the conservative party, and like Newt Gringrich, I'm sure he will be on the side lines stirring up the pot for years to come.
