DeLay and Nixon both resigned on August 8. How fitting!

August 8 - Richard Nixon resigned on August 8th, making it a fitting day for Tom DeLay to also end his political career. Cut 'n Run DeLay has withdrawn.

Dogged by scandal, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay intends to withdraw as a candidate for Congress, a Republican strategist said today, a step that would allow the party to field a write-in candidate in hopes of holding his seat

They say that DeLay will make his own announcement this afternoon. Prediction: it will be unapologetic, filled with self pity, and there will be at least 5 mentions of God, Jesus, and little children.

We should introduce legislation! Republicans under investigation, or those who found their conscience, could use that day to resign.
