The Republican Revolution is 'Finita'

Tom DeLay's good pal Jack Abramoff is crooning to investigators. His former aide, Michael Scanlon, has pleaded guilty to corruption charges and is singing harmony with the Justice Department. Ditto DeLay's former chief of staff, Tony Rudy. And a third aide, Emily Miller, is now doing an aria on the crimes of Scanlon, her ex-fiance. Scanlon had bought Miller a $4.7 million beach mansion as a wedding present, then jilted her for a 24-year-old waitress. Bad move. There's now more singing from DeLay's former associates than in the tavern scene from "Carmen."

And so the former House majority leader could not have chosen a more opportune time to exit the national stage. He has told the media that rather than waste his precious energies seeking re-election in his Houston district, he will work to "grow the Republican majority."

He didn't mention this, but his poll numbers are lousy. And despite then being a powerful Republican in Republican Washington, the voters in his district gave DeLay a mere 55-percent victory last time against a little-known Democrat who received no help from House Democrats.

DeLay will not lack for activity. For one thing, he can use his freed-up time to deal with a federal money-laundering charge. He can also defend himself against charges in Texas that he conspired to violate that state's campaign-finance laws.
