So long to the Hammer

Longtime readers of this blog might remember many posts a while back that were tracking the slow motion implosion of Tom Delay's career. These posts reflected the official position of this blog, fervently wishing for justice to be done in this case. Well, the bugman isn't in bars yet, but he is leaving Congress. Although Delay continues to deny any wrongdoing, attributing his decision to leave solely to political considerations, it is impossible not to draw the conclusion that he's getting out before his criminal cases go south.

Please join me in celebrating a great day for Houston, which will no longer be blighted by Delay's political machinations, but a great day for all America, where our notions of justice and political accountability are finally being vindicated.
