: DeLay bound for D.C. to lobby for conservatives, but some say no thanks

It must be really awful to have, even, other crooks, not want to be seen with you. Couldn't happen to a more deserving jackass.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Robert Novak :: DeLay bound for D.C. to lobby for conservatives, but some say no thanks:

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is about to return to the Washington political scene as a high-profile operative for the American Conservative Union if his negotiations with group Chairman David Keene are successfully completed.

DeLay, who has moved his residence from Texas to Washington's Virginia suburbs, would serve as a high-profile strategist and lobbyist for the group to promote conservative causes.

Although DeLay is highly regarded among conservatives in the face of his prosecution by a
Democratic district attorney in Austin, such support is not universal. At least two of the group's board members have threatened to resign if the deal with DeLay is consummated.
