Stick a fork in him

He's done:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Embattled Rep. Tom DeLay's hopes of reclaiming his post as House majority leader suffered a setback Friday as fellow Republicans called for new leadership in the midst of a congressional corruption scandal.
Days after lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty in courtrooms in two cities, a pair of GOP lawmakers circulated a petition calling for elections to pick a permanent replacement for DeLay. The Texas lawmaker temporarily relinquished his leadership post last year following indictment on campaign finance charges in his home state.

Blunt or Boehner would be just as extreme and in Blunt's case, just as corrupt, unfortunately for them.

    Woohoo!!!!

    Living just outside his district this makes me quite happy.

    But, it's important that he runs in 2006. In that district there is a real possibility he would lose, but if another repub runs, the district would definitely stay red.
