Stink...Stank...Stunk.

DeLay's situation is devolving into a major train wreck.

Republican Congressman Chris Shays (Connecticut) has drawn blood:

"Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election,"

Shays is right of course. Tom DeLay is the best thing that's happened to the Democratic Party since Newt Gingrich. The longer he's in a leadership status shooting his mouth off, the better the election prospects for Democrats.

DeLay isn't going down without a fight. He's calling in his markers:

Allies and friends of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Tex.) have concluded that public attention to his ethics is unlikely to abate for months to come, and they plan to try to preserve his power by launching an aggressive media strategy and calling in favors from prominent conservative leaders, according to Republicans participating in the strategy sessions.

Good. The more conservatives that align themselves with DeLay...the greater their own stench will be when he goes down.

Jack Abramoff is going to try his best to make sure of it.
