Geov Parrish: 'Tom DeLay and one-party rule'

A gloomy scenario from one of Seattle's top political pundits, via The Smirking Chimp: "Tom DeLay is on his way out. Last week, "The Hammer" even apologized -- sort of -- for appearing to endorse violence against federal judges. He has run out of high-profile deaths -- Schiavo, the Pope -- whose media coverage masks his ethics problems and his steady decline in support among once-loyal Republicans. After over a decade of corruption, hardball tactics, and sleaze, Tom DeLay is on his way out as a base of power in the House of Representatives. Don't celebrate yet."
