DeLay: GOP's 'panic, depression' risk losing elections

Former House majority leader Tom DeLay said he's "disappointed" in three ex-associates who pleaded guilty in a federal probe of political corruption, but he said their admissions "doesn't mean I knew" of their efforts to bribe Congress.

The Texas Republican, who is resigning his House seat Friday, told USA TODAY that he was surprised by revelations that Tony Rudy, a former top aide, and Jack Abramoff, a former lobbyist and longtime political supporter, tried to buy influence with lawmakers.

....................

Nicknamed "The Hammer" for his hard-charging style, DeLay is leaving Congress with more of a bang than a whimper.

The former No. 2 House leader criticized his Republican colleagues for "panic, depression and woe-is-me-ism," and predicted they will lose control in November "if they continue the attitude they have right now."
