More good news
Tom DeLay has resigned from Congress with a very divisive speech about the merits of partisanism and idealism. True to his topic, the speech elicited a standing ovation from the Republicans but hisses and walk-outs from the Democrats. His resignation comes amid a series of legal investigations about campaign money laundering and corruption as well as ethics violations.
Perhaps I simply hadn’t noticed before, but there seem to be a lot of politicians getting into corruption scandals and other legal quagmires lately (Tom DeLay and two of his aides, Jack Abramoff, I. “Scooter” Libby, etc). Perhaps people are finally getting fed up with all the crap that politicians keep trying to pull, and are finally doing something about it.
