DeLay and Staff Face Eviction from Majority Leader's Digs

[Rose Siding]

DeLay’s aides brace for exodus
The desks were still neatly arranged and there were no boxes in sight yesterday morning at the Office of the Majority Leader, but aides to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) are getting ready for a big move and an uncertain future.

When DeLay opted not to seek a return to his leadership post, he relinquished his claim to the trappings of his former power, including an office suite on the first floor of the Capitol and a contingent of more than 20 staffers.

Communications Director Kevin Madden said that members of the staff have begun the process of moving on......

tsk tsk

I wonder how long he will last not having any power anymore. People like that can't stay in jobs when they have been demoted like that. What goes around comes around.

He may yet reap what he has sown.

Typing with fingers crossed.

11. He *should* be retroactive, but considering that

Gingrich, of all people, is on the scene talking about ETHICS, of all things, you could be right.
