Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a conservative who is the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, told ABC's "This Week" that DeLay needed to explain his actions.

"I think he has to come forward and lay out what he did and why he did it and let the people then judge for themselves," Santorum said. "From everything I've heard … everything he's done was according to the law." :grr:

In an interview Sunday with Associated Press, Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut — a moderate who is one of DeLay's most outspoken critics among House Republicans — was more blunt.

"Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority, and it is hurting any Republican who is up for reelection," he said.
