The Return of Tom DeLay

Read about it here.

This strikes me as very bad for a Republican party that wants to distance itself from any hint of corruption. The man can make money hand-over-fist, but I think he's a drag to the Republican party and I'm guessing there aren't a lot of people in the leadership of the party who want to see him return to elected office. He works better as a martyr, raising money and giving speeches behind the scenes.

Incidentally, I think he's in for a surprise if he actually runs for his old seat. My prediction is that he'll lose the race to Nick Lampson if he goes for it.
