DeLay departs but his spirit remains
Re “DeLay to Stay Close to Political Action,” April 5
Good riddance to Tom DeLay and his partisan, payola brand of politics. If he has provided any service to the American people, it’s to have exposed the rampant corruption in American politics today. And he has done so outwardly and brazenly in selling Big Government outright to Big Business.
His new mantra of striving to bring government and religion closer together would be hilarious if it weren’t so scary. On its face, it sounds as potentially illegal as has been his performance and practice while in elected office.

Re “DeLay Quits His Drive for Reelection,” April 4
How can anyone believe that Republicans are sincere about cleaning up their act when House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) still praises his predecessor, scandal-ridden DeLay, as “one of the most effective and gifted leaders the Republican Party has ever known”?
