Retreat!

For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks

Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert informed the press today that the GOP would no longer push the controversial new ethics rules. Those rules would have made it virtually impossible for the House Ethics Committee to investigate the many allegations about Tom DeLay.

You can thank Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for this turn of events. She's led the Democrats in a consistent, on message assault against these rules changes.

My caption for that photo of DeLay:

"I'd better enjoy looking at that seal while I can. My ass is soooo grass!"
