Who's not now, or never will be apologizing? Ya gotta admit - this guy came with an agenda, met his goals, and ain't leaving with his tail between his legs. Don't know whether to applaud him or weep.
Tom DeLay as he leaves the Congress (NYT here)
"Leaving Congress on Friday under indictment in Texas and under a cloud in Washington for his relationships with a lobbyist and two former senior aides who have pleaded guilty to felony corruption, Mr. DeLay, the combative former Republican majority leader, was not about to distance himself from himself.
"I did a good job," said Mr. DeLay, the linchpin of the House Republican majority for the last decade and the mastermind of a formidable political operation that melded legislating, fund-raising, conservatism and business advocacy as never before. "I helped build the largest political coalition in the last 50 years. The K Street project and the K Street strategy I am very proud of.""
