Delay’s official announcement

4 Apr

Address to the Constituents of the 22nd District of Texas

So today, I am announcing my intention to resign my seat in the House. I will make that resignation effective sometime before mid-June, but largely dependent on the congressional calendar. I plan to begin focusing on the next phase of my life as a private citizen.

Between now and the date that I leave the House, however, I will continue to focus on and tend to several important legislative priorities for the 22nd District.

Also during this period, I will determine the new ways from various arenas outside of public office that will allow me to continue to contribute to and engage in the policy, political, and cultural issues of national importance to the conservative majority.

With that plan in mind, I also intend to relocate to my Virginia property and reside closer to Washington, so that I can dedicate the necessary time and energy to making a successful transition from the public to private sectors for myself and family.

Just like I thought. He is resigning so he can become the next Jack Abramoff. With any luck he’ll end up just like Abramoff too.

But never forget this: Mafia dons and gang leaders don’t stop running things just because they are in prison. Tom Delay will not cease to be powerful if he ends up behind bars either.
