DeLay resigns; goes to Iraq
Votelaw has learned that Rep. Tom "The Hammer" DeLay will resign not only from his leadership position but from Congress in order to avoid arrest following his expected indictment by a Travis County, Texas, grand jury.
President Bush has appointed DeLay as chief democracy builder in Iraq, to replace retiring Amb. Paul Bremer. DeLay said, "I hope to be able to teach the Iraqis a few of things I have learned about running campaigns and dealing with dissent."
DeLay is expected to leave for Iraq before the new grand jury is impaneled in Travis County.
Oh, April Fool.
