FOX NEWS: Must See-9:00 a.m. - DeLay to Announce Resignation From House
DeLay to Announce Resignation From House

By DAVID ESPO
AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Succumbing to scandal, former Majority Leader Tom Delay intends to resign from Congress within weeks, closing out a career that blended unflinching conservatism with a bare-knuckled political style.

DeLay is scheduled to appear on Fox News Channel Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. ET.

Republican officials said Monday night they expect the Texan to quit his seat later this spring. He was first elected in 1984, and conceded he faced a difficult race for re-election.

1. As soon as he finishes
those last couple of bank transactions, shredding most of his documents and wiping his hard drives.

2. I won't be watching.
No cable, and especially no Faux.

4. I can only imagine the vitriol he'll be spewing
And the "righteous indignation" of the Fox cohort paid to spin his story just so.

Oy, it's gonna be a bloodbath....:rofl:

5. Yep, it's all the fault of the mean old left
that poor little Tom lost his job. It's sure a mystery to me how the left can be so powerful without actually having any power. Think about that conundrum for a minute.

6. He Wants To Go Work With Orphans No Shit ....Wait He Will Say This!
Spreading Christianity and working with orphans. The liberals want to steal his seat in November so he is resigning so the nasty liberals can not steal his seat.

I love the link you sent Deb. The hotel is FAB and we want to get the suite so Peyton can have some room for herself.

7. I just turned the channel to Faux
and there were three goobers yammering typical Faux swill.
I couldn't bear it for more than 3 seconds and changed the channel.

Yuck i need another shower.

8. His staffer Rush must have some good stuff on him
Rush has decided to turn states evidence and he worked for Delay for some time. I am sure most of what he did was at the direction of his boss, Delay. He not only will not run for re-election but will resign from Congress. Will Texas have an election or will that seat go unfilled for seven months or will their governor select a replacement?
