The Daily Background

Ahahahhahaha. Okay. In response to Tom DeLay’s announcement that he will step down from the House of Representatives around late May, and not be seeking re-election, right-wingers have no idea how to respond. The President himself said he believes DeLay is innoncent and will be cleared on all charges. From the comments section of the prominent conservative blog RedState comes this humorous quote:

Look, I’ll be honest. I don’t care if DeLay broke a few laws. He was good for our side, and I’d rather have a corrupt Republican than an honest Democrat (not that there is such a thing).

But by dropping out, he might as well put on a T-shirt saying, “Yes, I AM guilty!” This will paint the entire Republican Party in a bad light, and put our majority in real jeopardy. The honorable thing for him to do would have been to resign before the primary. By waiting until now, he makes it look as though Earle or someone has something really damaging on him. Even if he’s innocent, he looks incredibly guilty.

This is bad. Just really, really bad. Truthfully, I think we just lost the House.
