DeLay on the Outs

House Republicans are scurrying to snag a mass of 50 Republicans Reps to sign a petition which would force a vote to determine new leadership of the House. Following closely from Jack Abramoff's plea deal, it seems that Republicans are scrambling to shove some much needed distance between the dirty lobbyist and themselves- starting with combatative former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who has vowed he'd return to the leadership. Doesn't seem like his oh-so-loyal followers are that excited for his return.
