The Washington Nationals baseball season is underway and Reuters is reporting that Republican bigwig Tom “The Hammer” DeLay, 58, is going to quit the political game in DeeCee, ASAP. The relentlessly snide DeLay is apparently ready to resign from his seat in the House of Representatives and go home to Texas to fight his court battles.
“...DeLay has told House Republican leaders that he intends to leave Congress as early as next month. It was not immediately clear if there would be a special election to replace DeLay or if his replacement would be selected in the November contest. DeLay, former owner of a pest control company, came to the House in 1985 and rose quickly through the ranks, earning a reputation as a master vote-counter and prolific fund-raiser.”
