It's never been a secret that Chris Shays (R-CT) was no big fan of Tom Delay, but now, after all these years, he finally grows the balls to
shiv Delay in public.
Representative Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican, said in an e-mailed statement that ``Jack Abramoff's guilty plea and his close association with Tom DeLay underscore the need for a new majority leader in the Republican Party.''
Shays said that ``it is time we make it clear that ethics are an essential part of how we do business and that our leadership needs to reflect this strong ethical conduct.''
Geez, Chris, what took you so long? Was Tom Delay acting so ethically in the past that you could not bring yourelf to reach this conclusion until now? Are we supposed to be impressed? I don't think so.
You remind me of the kid in school who punches the bully after he's been beaten up by someone else. So now, after it's been obvious for weeks he won't be Majority Leader again, you let your press secretary type a short email. Too late, Chris. We already know what you are; A coward.
