I can't understand why a republican when they get in trouble, they resign. Democrates stay in office and get voted back in again.

Disagreeing with Rush Limbaugh is not a scandal.

I was wondering how he snuck back into the House without being noticed...

I think maybe this is some psycological test to see how short lived Americans political memories are. Not Very Long!

Frank?>?

Not only is the story 2 years old, but it's "featured" on the top of every Topix page? What gives?

I bet that he is only moving to "K" Street.

because a republican is shamed when he/she does wrong and a democrat does not care.

Oh please!!! The republican isn't too ashamed to lie and steal and cheat - until they get caught? What a crock!

You must be a dependent member of society.

Tom DeLay resigning???

Remember Topix editors, your editorial duties mix poorly with excessive drunkeness.

McKinney wants another chance. If she gets back in the House will suffer.

Why does God choose such very low grade creeps to be in control of the States?

Well said, the Democrats are in control.

What happened to the geriatric queer caught playing footsies in the restroom? Policticians are without a doubt the most loathesome vermin in the universe.

Last week, former DeLay aide Tony Rudy pleaded guilty to conspiring with lobbyist Jack Abramoff and others to corrupt public officials, and he promised to help the broad federal investigation of bribery and lobbying fraud that already has resulted in three convictions.

You must have HONESTY and INTEGRITY and CHARACTER - then you won't have to worry about resigning or being shamed or humiliated. This applies to the crooks of BOTH parties - it's not a Republican or a Democratic thing - if you're a crook, we should be throwing your sorry butt in jail.

you mean they resign like Mr. Family Values himself - Larry the Toe Tapper Craig?

No like pimp Barney Frank who is still a member of Congress,or my personal favorite "I can't swim but wait 24hrs. Ted Kennedy"

Looks like some clinton fools do not agree, but MOST of us do!

The first time I ever heard of De lay was in a men`s room in las Vegas. Somebody wrote on the wall next to the machine the initials TNTC. It took me ten years to learn that it wasn`t about a house whip, but actually meant too numb to come {sic].

Uh- hey - Mr. Rockefeller? Try getting over the Ted Kennedy thing already - lotsa stuff has happened since then.
