DeLay gives his farewell address -- finally



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

This is a good one. Tom DeLay, the leading force behind the GOP's culture of corruption, urged his Republican colleagues to "stand on principle." Many of them, like Bob Ney, Jerry Lewis, Richard Pombo, John Doolittle, to name a few, are already standing on DeLay's principles. And, hopefully, like Duke Cunningham, they'll all be in jail.

Nancy Pelosi
put her good-bye message to "the Hammer" this way:

Tomorrow, Tom DeLay officially resigns from the House of Representatives. His resignation brings to an end what the press has referred to as a “criminal enterprise” run out of the former majority leader’s office.

Yet the widespread Republican culture of corruption goes deeper than one man and extends further than one office. Mr. DeLay’s departure under an ethical and legal cloud fails to extinguish that broader corruption.
