CNN: Republicans air concern over DeLay

[Kber]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Private GOP tensions over Tom DeLay's ethics controversy spilled into public Sunday, as a Senate leader called on DeLay to explain his actions and one House Republican demanded the majority leader's resignation.

"Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election," Rep. Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican, told The Associated Press in an interview, calling for DeLay to step down as majority leader.

My comments: CNN is not spinning this as a Democratic Witch Hunt like DeLay would like. Agree or disagree? In anycase, who do you all think will be the new House Majority Leader?

2. Time for censure and full-blown investigation into Tom DeLay's

...conduct and possible abuse of office and privileges. I think the bastard is a complete crook!

3. Cliff May this morning

spinning his ass off that this was an attack by "liberals" just like the attacks against "Newt" who was "totally vindicated....a fact ignored by the liberal media establishment".

The Dem on the panel shot him down but Cliff seemed to be spinning desperately......

4. I don't think they have a choice

One borderline psycho, like Delay, is tarnishing the rest of the Republican Right. CNN is going to play its part and perhaps actually report, they have little choice. Does not make them a real news organization.

5. You're very canny; Drudge is spinning that way with a Novak article today.

You know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel when they use Novak to smear the NYT, traitor to the country that he is.
