DeLay's shadow fades

The Hammer used to cast such a shadow in Congress than none dare cross him. But Republican Congressmen are recovering their spines and showing that they CAN do the right thing from time to time. Maybe there's reason to hope that there will be some integrity in the DeLay ethics investigation. Homeboy Doc Hastings is pleased to see 2 Ethics Committee congressmen who are close to DeLay recuse themselves. They are recent appointees to the committee who replaced congressmen who have been critical of the Hammer.
